Documenting something as a release goal means that the release team commits
to giving as much support as possible to folks who want to work on that
goal. Delaying the release for release goals that don't have anyone working
on them is something else entirely. Bug #375056 is 256 days old -- there
was ample time for someone to work on it if IPv6 support in ekiga was
important to them, well before gnomemeeting was removed. (And there still
is time, if someone is still interested in working on it.)
