Kommenteissa on hyvää keskustelua GNOME kehittäjien kanssa. Toivottavasti Consort-kehittäjät ryhtyvät kehittämään alkuperäisiä projekteja forkkauksien sijasta.
"the GNOME project has decided to remove gnome-panel and metacity from the release for the explicit reason that now interested parties can pick them up without forking; the GNOME project already has infrastructure in place for source revision control, bug tracking, release hosting, and documentation.
honestly, I’m incredibly sad that you felt the need to fork projects that are there to be picked up."
"Hey, I’m currently listed as the Metacity maintainer. With fallback being dropped from GNOME, it is indeed dead at the moment, but if anyone (*hint, hint*) is interested in developing it further (in whatever direction they see fit), I’d be happy to let them take over from me."
