Since it was me who wrote that original sentence, I should add that I'm totally in favour of that... I was just trying to outline things in general terms :) FWIW though, I'm not entirely convinced that you can really have an 'implementation' of vanilla GNOME (or vanilla anything else); IMHO you can only have the source code and/or a build. (It's also quite possible to build community GNOME 2.10 from cvs on Solaris with jhbuild, for example, and some folks here already have, but you couldn't really call that an 'implementation'...)
