Help me out here:
- Does GTK+ constitute a part of the GNOME Platform? If so, then I
assume PyGTK would constitute a part of the Platform Bindings.
- What does "stable" mean? None of the code AFAIK is under heavy
development, so if the only criteria for splitting packages is not
being "in-development" [which is a bit bogus] then
- Is there a requirement of completeness? Must the bindings cover a
certain minimum percentage of the original platform library?
- As a summarizing statement, how strict are we going to be towards
package splits? Do you forsee PyGTK shipping more than two
packages (pygtk and gnome-python) as part of the bindings?

Yes, it gives us just enough time to package the tarballs and fill the
stockings with bug reports <wink>
Take care,
