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'...)

Cheeri,
