We kept 2.20, because of GNOME release team's decision for 2.22. As for  
the GNOME 2.24, we don't keep gdm 2.20 because we follow them.

I have been disappoint with GNOME developers/team for long time by now.  
Sometimes, they don't work as team. The release team is weak and seems  
can't make the decision. The developers don't test the tarballs sometimes  
when they released.
