discussions these days tend to happen on high bandwidth channels
(hackfest, conferences, public IRC channels), because mailing lists
have proven, time and again, to be poor venues of communication,
especially when it comes to time-sensitive development.

all invested parties should really consider joining the #gtk+ IRC
channel, if you're not there already.

the thread is not ignored — it just happened to be between GUADEC and
a bunch of people going on holiday. it's still routinely discussed on
IRC, for instance.

Murray has been very good at filing bugs. if there are *concrete*
issues in porting code from the stock system to the named icons, or
from GtkAction/GtkUIManager to GAction/GtkBuilder, then filing bugs
with *actionable items* is the quickest way to get feedback.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
