That makes a lot of sense, and on that basis keeping gnome-3.8+ in ~arch is probably not warranted. HOWEVER, part of keeping things stable is also a stable upgrade path, and -at least at this point- it is -not- trivial to go from gnome-2/openrc to gnome-3.8/systemd without a fair bit of work on the part of the end-user. Before anything does go stable, I implore our gnome devs to provide cut-and-paste level instructions to do the upgrade, or provide a tool to help significantly (if not fully) automate the process. Our stable users should be able to emerge -uDN without spending massive amounts of time and who-knows-how-many reboots to resolve the blockages. It may be pertinent for this reason (a "smoother" upgrade path) and this reason alone, to stabilize gnome-3.6 first -- just to get into gnome3 (and get gnome-2 removed) without having to also deal with the systemd migration at the same time. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlIDvAoACgkQ2ugaI38ACPC8WQD/cUNKSx0mf6ELG77RWOfwresP 2zjG+sPTvQhiZtZd2PsA/ipgGei3j/CmcJooORwqjl3w9eztr90tSeTaoHtm+gdh =LGcF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
