Gnome GNOME 2.19.6 has been released yesterday. "This is our sixth development release on our road towards GNOME 2.20.0, which will be released in September 2007. New features are still arriving, so your mission is simple : Go download it. Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it."

How about this as their new marketing motto:

"Better to add a small number of well tested features to each release than trying to cram a mountain of untested and potentially problematic code for the sake of hype"

I'd sooner see less features, more testing and greater focus on reliability; it isn't as though GNOME is so deficient that it requires massive overhauls (hence the reason there is no GNOME 3.0).
