gconf removal for buster premature?

[Jeremy Bicha]

Hi,

Let me reply to
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-gnome-maintainers/2018-August/145477.html

This is the embarrassing part where I admit that I am not subscribed
to the pkg-gnome-maintainers list because it sends a lot of mail which
I already get more conveniently from subscribing to
https://tracker.debian.org/teams/debian-gnome-team/

I am subscribed to https://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/ though.

You should discuss your proposals with the new gconf maintainer.

I believe the Debian GNOME team really does want to get rid of gconf
as soon as we can. In fact, we had removed all gconf
reverse-dependencies from Buster already (except for Eclipse which is
a huge headache), but the new gconf maintainer has now let several
back in for Buster. I think his plan was to try to remove gconf during
Bullseye though.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
