It means that MATE developers do not have the knowledge to maintain
several of the components they ship.
The very fact that they forked GConf (MateConf) while GConf 3.x is still
binary-compatible should be enough to understand that.

This is completely silly. “Porting GNOME 2 to GNOME 3 APIs” has already
been done, and it is called gnome-panel 3.

Indeed. But we have a code duplication policy, and I hope we enforce it
before shipping such software (especially sed-generated libraries).
