I thought the whole point of having gtk-engines with all these engines includes was to have one maintained module with everything included. If its to just be a 'meta-module' with code dumped in from other places I honestly do not see the point of it at all. I mean if you don't even want smooth

Nuvola is today in gnome-themes-extras. I am going to move it into gnome-themes if the maintainers of that package approve the move and make a new final release of g-t-e without Nuvola. This means that while it will not be the default theme for GNOME it will be part of a default installation.

What would help the problem a lot is if debates go more into specific sublists instead of going onto desktop-devel. One of the main reasons for this is that for many sub-projects the relevant maintainers are not on the relevant lists. I find it kinda pathetic for instance that someone who

I guess a fair compromise would be to aim for using gtk 2.8 for 2.12, but not using any new functionality in gtk 2.8. That way if it turns out 2.8 is not stable enough we can roll back to 2.6 before release. On the other side it is stable enough then we ensure its gets widely distributed and
