gnome apps

[Jani Monoses]

I was about to propose using the plain goffice, gnumeric and evince and 
stop maintaining the gtk only patches or start moving them upstream, 
when I saw the recent changes which revert back to gtk only for a few apps.
I think using unmaintained, incomplete or immature apps is a mistake.
What was the reasoning behind the move, for each separate package?
When I switched to some gnome apps during Gutsy I argued on the list for 
the benefits for each package in part.

I saw no such thread this time, althogh I may have missed a meeting.

thanks
