Well,

I am not expert on this, but I know that many of them are on holiday already.

This was done because we don't have either enough time or competent
people to fix this before Meego 1.2

Timing relates also to the time that goes when you properly upstream
stuff that has not yet been upstreamed. That has not been done yet
because the said lack of people.

Really complex issue and I know that the decision was not easy.
I think it was accepted after all with the promise to fix it for 1.3

Br,
//Harri

I think people could guess this (something coded to 0.9.19), but... why?

>From pulseaudio.org, 0.9.19 was released 30 Sept 2009, 0.9.21 11 Nov 2009,
and /every/ recent distro, including MeeGo, uses 0.9.21. Why would anyone
then code to 0.9.19? The obligation of any project intending to be integrated
into MeeGo is to stay current with the versions MeeGo is using.  If someone
suggested a product cricical project required downgrading the MeeGo kernel
by a couple of steps, when it had otherwise been decided to be the target
version, they'd be shouted down immediately.  Why are we rewarding an
incompetent development team who can't follow the rules in this case, then?
