Well, IMHO GNOME should get the same treatment KDE is already getting, but I 
don't care all that much about GNOME, so I could probably agree to such a 
compromise.

Still, don't you want to run an actually maintained GNOME where bugs are 
still being fixed rather than being stuck with them forever? Does GNOME 
continue releasing bugfixes for the old branch after the new release? (KDE 
definitely doesn't.)

But this has absolutely nothing to do with direct stable pushes anymore!
