At this point, it's not just about nautilus. Other modules were ported to gio... Reverting, while doable, would be painful. I'm not sold on the fact that there are many important regressions. The main regressions, in my mind, are the ftp backend, the network backend and the connect dialog. There might be some other regressions, but I've not noticed them. (well, there are also the themes and fonts backends, but they're clearly not blocker) Network backend and Connect dialog shouldn't be hard. I'm volunteering to do the Connect dialog. And maybe the network backend if nobody steps up. There are plans for ftp, but I don't know the status of this, so I'll let someone else talk about it. All in all, we're still in good shape, IMHO.
