Then, when it breaks, they can keep both pieces. It's not called
"unstable" or "testing" for nothing. If you want a stable computer,
woody is the one you want. For unstable and testing, GNOME 2 is the
correct way to go.
That's not to say that other people agree with this. I actually think
for the core GNOME2 packages (like the panel, etc) it'd be better to
have a transition from the *2 packages to the normal GNOME package names
- but that's up to the maintainers of those packages.
