Gnome "Back in November we started sharing some of the exciting features planned for the GNOME 2.22 and 2.24 releases, and now that the first GNOME 2.22.0 Beta release is planned for later this week, we have taken another look at the packages set for inclusion and the changes that have actually been made. While nothing groundbreaking will be introduced in GNOME 2.22, this desktop environment does have some moderate changes worth noting. In this article are eight interesting packages that either have noticeable changes since GNOME 2.20 or are new to GNOME. This list isn't all-inclusive or ordered in any particular fashion, but just eight changes that had caught our attention."

Gnome has no control over Linux and *BSD either. Does that mean they have to develop their own operating system now?

If proven technology that fulfills their requirements is already available, why should they divert resources into developing something that probably won't be better than existing solutions?

Another way to say this: don't reinvent the wheel.
