Despite Helix's work, I'm still actively maintaining my gnome related
packages. I don't think we should allow our packages to stagnate just
because Helix will be taking over the packages. Since Helix hasn't
taken over yet, I feel a certain responsibility to ensure that my
packages are in "proper" working order. Helix can even use whatever
updates we make to our packages to ensure that the migration from the
current gnome packages to the Helix gnome packages is as smooth as
possible.
BTW, how different are the Helix gnome packages from the native debian
ones? Is Helix actively tracking our gnome related bug reports and
fixes?
