Hi Joss,
thank you for your feedback.

This still includes seemingly useless forks of:
- libwnck, still in Debian
We forked libwnck for three main reasons: to have stable API, to keep
GTK2 support, and to add new features on it (we already started to do this).
- libgnome-keyring (no GTK3 dependency)
There is already a plan to drop it and use the new libsecret instead.
- libnotify: only trivial API changes between the forked version and
the current one
This is a nice suggestion, we should drop libmatenotify and use upstream
version instead.
- libgnome-desktop (still in Debian)
We improved libmate-desktop as our main library, for example we added
our shared gsettings schemas there, and added some functions specific
for MATE. We cant drop it.
- metacity (here to stay)
Marco (metacity fork) is our specific window manager, and we added a lot
of improvements and customizations there too.
- gnome-doc-utils (here to stay)
We are working on replace it with yelp tools.
We are discussing on reasons to keep or drop other libs too (as gweather
and mate-menus)
On a related but less important matter: unless they have been pushed
upstream, you might also want to add the patches that we had in Debian’s
GNOME 2 that fix long-standing bugs – I’d quote the file manager’s fixed
width columns, which I find almost unusable without the patch, if I had
to choose one.
Thank you Joss. We already added a lot of your patches (example [1]) in
our upstream, and we'll continue to do this :)
Cheers,
Stefano
