No. We kept it because there was no clean upgrade path to version 2.30 (which still supports the XDMCP horror). Almost nothing justifies using XDMCP nowadays, except for *extremely specific* setups. That said, we provide GNOME Classic in wheezy for good reasons. Some of Florian’s concerns are clearly among them. Another past example is PulseAudio, which we felt was not ready for squeeze, and which was clearly ready for wheezy (except, again, for a handful of specific setups). Cheers, -- .''`.
