Sorry but this email slipped through for me. Was busy getting sumo
into shape. BTW: have still not the slightest idea what patches might
get applied - so I'll stop to send out more.

FWIW

* I want to continue maintaining meta-xfce.
* I still don't like killing meta-gnome. But go on I'll do my own
layer for those recipe I take care of. I am tired of people
complaining instead sending patches. This is kind of consumer
mentality I wouldn't expect here.
