 Yes, I agree with Alejandro. GNOME has a fixed release schedule and we
don't. And though we can think that we are going to release in 18 months
from Sarge release (which would be great), spending a lot of time in
2.10 is a waste of time, as for sure Etch is going to be released with
at least 2.12. If we were just 2 months far from release, making this
would be acceptable, but not just now.

 With this, I am not saying that GNOME 2.10 should be abandoned, but
that 2.12 should start to be packaged and uploaded. Or it will happen
that closer to our release, GNOME 2.14 is going to be released and we
will want to include it in Etch, forcing people to jump from 2.10 to
2.14, which usually is more difficult and errors prone.
