Who is going to take the decision to divert from upstream code in
Debian ? A company can decide to make some structural changes and
branding but I think that Debian (and Gentoo, Slackware, ...) should not
take such decisions but rather respect the upstream code and provide a
stock gnome. 
If we don't do this we will end in an endless situation: Why not
respection upstream choices ? Why not picking the Ximian changes instead
of the ubuntu ones ? Why not the Redhat ones ? ...

I don't know, but I'm not sure than upstreams are interested with these
changes, that need to be discussed with them.
