Metacity and GNOME Flashback
Hi Richard,
I noticed that in June you updated Metacity to 3.12.0 to Fedora. Thank
you for doing so.

As you may know, the upstream GNOME Flashback project is now
maintaining Metacity and several other components.

I would like to package all of GNOME Flashback and I was wondering if
you had any intention of doing so. if not, I'm curious if there is a
use case for Metacity outside of a GNOME Flashback session and if you
(or anyone else) have any advice.
The GNOME Flashback components:
gnome-applets (dead package in fedora)
gnome-flashback (not in fedora)
gnome-panel (dead package in fedora)
metacity
notification-daemon (still in fedora, but last updated 2012-09-04)
The stable release tarballs are under here:

And note that I have been able to run GNOME Flashback on Fedora 21 via JHBuild:
