Comment:

 I'd prefer not to upgrade gnome related ports to version 3 level until the
 gnome package as a whole
 works properly at that level.  Currently the gnome ports are (in general)
 at the 2.30.3 level and have not progressed to the final 2.32 revision due
 to the transition from gconf to gsettings
 with both gconf and dconf as possible back ends.  This has wide reaching
 effects.

 In addition, since gnome3 relies heavily on the new gnome-shell which
 requires hardware accelerated 3D rendering to work properly, I'm not sure
 whether gnome3 will work on Apple platforms
 as a whole.  Lots of discussion on other platforms pro and con on other
 platforms that are
 making this transition (Fedora 15 Alpha for instance). Without the 3D
 acceleration it goes
 into "fallback mode" which seems much less desireable than gnome2.


 Most importantly, the gtk3 port as it currently exists conflicts with gtk2
 and so moving any
 gnome ports to gtk3 will break all the other gtk2 based ones.  This should
 be fixable as
 the gtk folks claim that gtk3 can install side by side with gtk2 without
 ill effects and other
 distros are doing this successfully.

 So lets move ahead cautiously and think about the whole rather than ports
 one by one before we
 get in a big mess.
