[Unity-design] Fwd: What do we do with the file manager?

[Michael Terry]

Maximal features should not be our goal.  What's best for the default 
install should be.

There are always going to be other file managers a user can install 
from the USC for more features.  We should pick a path that is best in 
terms of maintainability for us and usability for across-the-chasm 
users.

Picking one of the forks of 3.4 nautilus means that either we are the 
sole stewards or we will conflict with the existing maintainers over 
design goals (which sounds a lot like GNOME but with less manpower).

I don't think we have the energies to own a whole file manager.  I vote 
we just ride along with GNOME on this one and patch it to fit better 
when running under Unity.
