Look, things evolve. GNOME is full of little unprofessional details
like this. I, FWIW, wish that these things get axed for GNOME 3. Yes,
there will be "regressions".

And ultimately, those who *do* the work make things go forward. And
no, I don't agree that you have to announce all the things that you're
going to go. Sometimes, you just do. Else, this all crumbles under the
weight of a highly bureaucratised design by committee which sucks up
all energy in the *process* preventing the actual production of
*content*.

If you want to have a say on things, work for it. Like Linus said
once, "talk is cheap".

Hope you liked my feedback.
