I agree it makes sense to "freeze" motif devel; de facto its been frozen
for 9-12 months.
But forking the code too early makes me shiver; it would be a maintenance
headache/nightmare to have two active branches. Following the lead of the
Linux kernel, I'd rather see things settle down, get bugs fixed, declare victory,
and then move on. Can we declare victory? Well, not yet, but I'd be willing to
settle for a statement that 1.2 is "feature complete", i.e. accept only bug fixes
to it, and do this for a while until the questins & bug reports on the
mailing list tapers off.
The other phrase that makes me cringe is "drop motif". I don't even want to
begin thinking that until we have a functional gnome version; right now, despite
tremendous recent progress, it seems a long way off.
