I thought that a new GNOME 1.4.x just came out and is still supported
upstream, no?  Am I misinterpreting this quote from Jeff Waugh?

    Well, we are just about to release GNOME 1.4.1, developer platform
    up to fifth toe, so we're kinda still supporting it. :-)

And

    Coming from upstream...

    You're probably best off maintaining both, at least until a)
    2.0.2ish and/or b) Ximian / Red Hat release their 2.0-based
    desktops.

If this is at all accurate, I'd personally hate to see Gnome 1.4 get
clobbered, even from unstable.
