We need to be more aggressive in testing packages since that's what will
give us the edge with attracting new users, as well as give us a good
first impression when it comes to review time.  Since 5.3-RELEASE is
coming soon, we need to be very sure our packages do the right thing. 
You can expect Eugenia to rake us over the coals in a review otherwise.

That said, I have done a GNOME 2.7 package install a few times with good
success.  I haven't gotten any feedback on the 2.6 packages good or
otherwise.  Hopefully that means they work.
