Why would it ?
The definition of "sid" is "still in development". Unstable means "be
always ready to test something new".
It doesn't mean that we shouldn't announce the fact that Gnome2 is going
into unstable, but it means that the separate packaging is not
necessary. If one doesn't want to test Gnome2, he shouldn't use sid,
either he mark the gnome packages on hold or he switch back to testing.
Doing either of these is not complicated and not painful. Even if he
missed the G2D announcement, he can revert back to Gnome 1.4 with
an apt-get "install gnome-core/testing ..." command line.

Yeah "pinning hack" is similar to what I explained just before. The
choice exists and will always exist ...
