I'm flustered about losing all my loved tray icons like skype, pidgin,
rhythmbox, tracker. And these bug reports ("remove tray icon, that's not the
place for an application to be") exist!

That's good and i hope that this work gets finished before someones is
filling out new bug reports.

As i said, i'm not aware of any good working alternative.

That could very well be a bug.
You're right, but i would mark it as a WONTFIX, because there's no
alternative for the developers.
That's exactly what i wanted to say:
"Completely agree. If this goes further, that apps in system tray
_should not_ be removed untill that new feature is completely
implented and functional."
And if they shouldn't be removed, their shouldn't be any bug reports
demanding that.
