no, I am not subscribed to every mailing list for opensource projects (the kernel mailing list keeps me in reading material by itself ;-)

but nothing in your prior post indicated if there were problems with that or not, just that that library had not yet been accepted.

people were complaining that they weren't talking about what they were planning, now they give their plans for a year out and your are complaining that not all of the things that they will need to do in the meantime have been completed.

I'd have thought the chief concern wouldn't be that Ubuntu may use a component that isn't a part of standard Gnome (and KDE) but that they are trying to encourage developers to avoid a cross desktop standard component that is.

Aside from the effect on their own desktop, if successful that effort threatens to reduce the use of a very nice standard for everyone else.
