Right, but it is API stable. I'm using it in gnome-power-manager and it's going to be used in the xfce power manager too. I've also started porting other applications to use the interfaces rather than HAL. > Exactly for reasons like the EggDBus one and also things like this enum > one.

Yes, which is why I'm not exactly enamoured with the 001 style of version numbers. Using the old major.minor.release version numbers I could branch the tree and maintain an old and new branch. Using the 00x numbering always means we can't break ABI or API, which for a new project is typically a death blow. In my opinion of course.
