This has nothing to do with the point of Ian Jackson. Ian told about
administrator who would like to offer both Gnome 1 and 2 to its users.
That's not possible.

Nobody knows. It depends if we have volunters for it, if new versions
comes out ...

Any proof ? Maintaining Gnome 1 is a definite amount of work. Having it
in unstable or in testing doesn't change much. In fact, it may be easier
to maintain it in testing since testing isn't evolving so fast.

I'm not judging anything. If the applet is very interesting, then
someone will do the work ... that's all.

So, the applet disappear from the Gnome desktop of unstable users
during 2 monthes ... and ? What's the problem ?
I said it, it's *normal life* in the free software world.
Cheers,
