[tomboy-list] Fwd: Dropping tomboy from the CD at least for part of the oneiric cycle

[Sandy Armstrong]

Other open questions:

1) Is Banshee still on the CD? What they are doing for settings?
2) If Ubuntu isn't shipping any gconf support, does that mean there
will be no way to migrate settings for users that are upgrading?
