An average user won't be too happy when they update their distro and find all of their settings have disappeared. Any arguments involving developers are basically irrelevant IMHO when it comes to migrations. Not providing a migration path will probably delay adoption of dconf/gsettings into Debian because Debian tries it's hardest to preserve user configuration, even during an update. There are long and scary scripts which can migrate gnome-panel 1.x to 2.x in Debian... Ross -- Ross Burton mail: ross burtonini com jabber: ross burtonini com www: http://burtonini.com
