Personally, I prefer to delay the .0 release, and ship with new nautilus. I think distros would understand that would be necessary. Ubuntu, for example is going to release a LTS (long term support) version, and, last LTS (dapper 6.04) had 2 months of delay (becoming 6.06). >From an user point of view, I understand/second that my distro will delay a new version due to needed of polish/fixing bugs on it. -- Jonh Wendell www.bani.com.br _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
