I would consider non-functioning automount for a (short) period of time as
acceptable compromise, but ymmv.

So do you want to wait until this magically happens? When would that be?
Right now, transitions are quite a bit of manual work and the more transitions
are entangled the harder it gets.

Not by far. See the comments about e.g. libpanel-applet. There is an awful lot
of work to be done to get everything into shape.

The nautilus transitions is already complex enough imho (involving a
mini-transition for evince, brasero, gnome-media, libgdata and possibly
gnome-bluetooth and nautilus-sendto).

Personally I'd be fine with dumping everything into unstable, but imho we could
have a transition which would last over several weeks or months and which
certainly would block other transitions.

That said, it's not really up to me to decide and I'll just wait now what the
release team wants us to do.

Cheers,
Michael
