I just want to point out that if the gnome-shell developers have any
intention or desire of using Seed in the future this whole "we need
both engines" debate is a bit pointless, since in theory there
wouldn't be any module using gjs in GNOME, and thus moving forward
with Seed would be the only sane choice IMHO. So I think their input
would be quite valuable here.
