Maybe the right answer is to align the support matrix with the upstream
supplier; as Shawn said, customers notice when the GNOME from GNOME is
different from the GNOME from Sun.

There should be a support level that says "it is what it is, because it
is exactly what we get from the community.  We won't fork and make our
own changes here, but we will ship newer versions as they are developed
by the community".

Of course, to be able to easily ship the new stuff, the interfaces need
to be marked as Volatile so that existing customers don't complain that
we changed something out from under them, but Volatile is not sufficient
to describe the above support policy...
