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

[Sandy Armstrong]

Bill,

Thanks for the kind works to the Tomboy team!  Support from passionate
users like you is a great motivator. :-)

This isn't actually as big of a deal as it may have seemed at first.
We do depend on some obsolete stuff and we need to clean that up...all
that Ubuntu is doing is reminding us that if we don't clean it up, it
has an impact on their live CD (wasted space).

We're a bit behind the rest of GNOME in switching to the latest
versions of various dependencies, and there is bound to be some
discomfort as we go through this transition.  Anyone who was around
for the beginnings of gnome2/gtk2 will know that it could be a lot
worse.  ;-)

Best to all,
Sandy
