I do not have strong feelings on the matter.  As far as I can see,
gnome-pilot is not likely to support any new palmos devices since palm
appear to be orphaning hotsync (desktop link protocol) support.  So it
becomes less likely that users new to Ubuntu will require gnome-pilot.
Of course, if this change goes through then such users would have to
install gnome-pilot from repositories.
