As a former os2 user I ran the same desktop interface with a frozen API for almost a decade... software still gets written for it, still... What is so bad about a frozen API? In this case, a frozen Gnome 2.x API? the other underlying components can evolve (kernel, x.org etc) but nothing prevents people from continuing building gnome 2.x on top of each new linux release. Suppose all Gnome 2.x devs die (weÂll all die, eventually)... whats the technical barrier to continue bulding Gnome 2.x forever? Sorry if IÂm missing something... IÂm half asleep. I just think a frozen API is actually good, as it allows people to just fix crashing bugs and stop re-inventing the wheel and prevents feature creep and bloat...
