I haven't had any complaints about this from Ross yet. I think he's a
passive follower, like gnome-media, which means "I don't give a f#ck,
but I'll move when all my baselibs have moved".

Anyway, we've had the discussion, and with Benjamin and Wim not
replying, it was decided (by voting of me, Dave and Thomas, as current
active and replying maintainers) that we will not do it now, but we will
require 2.8 directly as soon as Ubuntu Breezy and FC5 are out, which
will include glib-2.8 out of the box.
