Not exactly. The key removed in the first patches is an old,
unimplemented, galeon1 key. If you look at the last patch you will
notice that the removal part is gone, because we already removed the old
key in cvs.
I think using /apps/epiphany now would be bad, because we will have to
break compatibility for next release.
If release team prefer to delay the gnome vfs changes I think
alternatives are:
- Commit the schemas changes only in gnome-vfs, without the
implementation, and the epiphany patch
- Commit only epiphany patch. You dont necessarily need a schemas, we
could just document the key in a FAQ or something for now
- Delay the whole thing and add the feature to epiphany in next release

Thanks !
