he probably meant a CLEAR note that explains the user that GNOME 2 is
not ready for commercial use. which he is right.

oh, i recall this GNOME 2 hat a couple of namechanges somehow.

	"GNOME 2 Desktop Environment"

then some months later as the pressure came higher it became

	"GNOME 2 Desktop"

without environment because there was none such thing. and at the final
end it was called

	"GNOME 2 Developer Plattform"

or something like this. which told everyone hey it's not ready yet.
GNOME 2 is mainly a library rewrite.
