I'd be very grateful if this position could be reconsidered, for a number
of reasons.

If evo came so late is because we've been doing GNOME 3.4 step by step,
instead of doing a hell of a transition. Particularly, our last step
included GNOME Shell with a patch to revert its switch to look for
Evolution's new gsettings stuff, which allowed us to first get Shell in
without entangling the new evolution-data-server, and now be prepared for
a smaller and not so scary Evo transition.

We could have just shoved everything in a big transition, but we have always
tried our best to coordinate our uploads, wait for slots, and do small
bits. That takes time, and we haven't stopped since 3.4 was released, one
transition after the other. It'd be sad to not have the complete thing,
just lacking the final bit.

I hope we can do something about this.

Jordi, a bit frustrated. :P
