Geert mentioned in the Notification Emails thread that he'd like to get 2.6 released in

[1], it's probably time to release 2.5.0 so that we can at least start down that road.
Shall we say feature freeze now, string freeze in July, 2.6 release 1 November?
Or is anyone actively working on features that should go in? What became of the
rewrite of the register to GtkTreeView? Failing that, has anyone taken a shot
at rewriting it with Cairo instead of libgnome? Note that I'm not proposing a
Gtk3 migration for 2.6: We're doing that at Gramps, and MSWin is proving to be
troublesome. In fact, it appears that no one is supporting Gtk3-MSWin at the
moment.

[1] I don't know where that originated. My wife brought it with her from DEC,
where it was apparently a truism.

Forgot to mention: Gtk3 was indeed not on the agenda for 2.6. 2.6 is
only meant to be *ready* to be migrated. This means getting rid of all
the deprecated gtk symbols. Other than the register this is done. So the
register rewrite is actually important for this goal, whether we use the
GtkTreeView approach or the libgnome->cairo route.
