I agree. We shouldn'd discard the possibility of either postponing the gvfs-based Nautilus or delaying the .0 release if needed. Obviously, releasing Nautilus with too many or some big regressions is not a good plan. Personally, I'm more in favor of postponing the gvfs-based Nautilus because delaying our release can bring more problems for us and for the projects relying on our schedule. Hence, it would be good: - to have a plan with the list of regressions we can't accept for 2.22 - to hear (mainly) from Alex if this plan is feasible --lucasr _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
