Hey,
I guess there's quite a few benefits/risks to be weighed up here:
- The benefit of having cool new rendering stuff in GNOME 2.12
- The benefit of being able to use all the other new APIs in GTK+
2.8 for GNOME 2.12
- The benefit of getting all this stuff tested early (i.e. before
GTK+ 2.8 is released, rather than after)
- The extra incentive for people to help with getting the rendering
stuff optimized
vs.
- The risk of the GTK+ 2.8 schedule slipping, causing a slip in the
GNOME 2.12 schedule
- The risk that performance problems with the rendering stuff might
put some people off using GNOME 2.12
Although I was pretty nervous about this too at first, the benefits
certainly seem to outweigh the risks when you spell them out like that.
Cheers,
Mark.
