  Not likely happen, I'm afraid.  We're not willing to split
gnome-python just to be part of some "meta package".

  To justify this position, I can think of at least the following
arguments:

	1- Distributions can already split gnome-python into individual binary
packages (one per python module) as they want, and many already do just
that, such as Fedora;

	2- All modules are optional, dependent on the respective C libraries;

	3- The split between developer and desktop platform is time varying. 
For example, I can foresee libgnomeprint* becoming part of developer
platform sooner or later.  Perhaps even gtkhtml2, who knows? Are we
going to keep moving bindings from one package to another as modules are
added to devel platform in the future?

  If the GNOME Platform Bindings release team is willing to amend the
rules, we are willing to make an effort to follow release schedule and
maintain API compatibility.

  Regards.
