My take on this is that the GNOME platform (including fd.o) is moving
rather quickly now to better serve projects like Sugar and if we don't
get to use the latest versions we are left stuck without many goodies.

Perhaps we could go back to build gtk, pygtk, etc inside jhbuild as we
used to do a year ago? Should be pretty easy for someone like Reinier
to restore and maintain support for Ubuntu Hardy, I think.
