We don't. However, we do have to consider the value of maintaining a delta
from upstream, ensuring that changes are done in a way that will be accepted
now or soon, and appropriateness of changes during our (and their) release
process. Right now, we're in UI freeze. GNOME is not. So, the best place to
make this happen in the very near future would be GNOME. :-)

Please remember that this list is for development discussion, and we must
make sure that it has a good signal-to-noise ration to ensure that all of
our developers can actually read it. This would probably be better raised as
a wishlist bug, or a proposal on the wiki.

Thanks,
