Add to that the fact that it isn't yet feature complete and it hasn't been around for a very long time. It should probably wait for at least Karmic+1. If it can remain smaller in any way when it reaches maturity, then I don't see why it couldn't replace Tomboy. I wouldn't hold the 'direct port' bit against it. It's an interesting way to fork. And how many forks are we shipping in Ubuntu? I can name at least Xorg, GCC, and our version of OOo.
