RE: gnome2
Yeah you can get gnome2 now, even if ur running woody stable.
Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://people.debian.org/~kov/debian woody gnome2
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~kov/debian woody gnome2
Next, just run:
apt-get update
apt-get install gnome2 gdm2

the next stable release being the next MAJOR release which I think
will be called sarge, the answer is probably yes. Note this release
is I would guesstimate based on past releases at least a year and a
half away.
It will NOT(I certainly hope) ever get integrated into any point
releases of woody(e.g. 3.0r1 3.0r2 etc..). debian's policy towards
updates is quite strict, and gnome2 would be a massive change.
thats not to say that someone won't provide 3rd party debs to it
at some point for stable(maybe they are available already, I use
afterstep so I don't track gnome/kde)
