So you are saying that the fact that a programmer has an ability to program, together with a fact that the new shiny desktop can be customized by programming, means that the desktop can be regarded as sufficiently configurable?

Here, waitaminute. So for how long will Gnome 2 be continued to be supported? Or are you saying that by the time Gnome 3 is considered "production-quality" (I thought it already is considered so, but what do I know) it will have feature parity with Gnome 2 and won't require Gnome 2 users to perform any extra configuration?
