Well first, I guess it's just a matter of time until the GNOME folks
pressure (or convince) the upstreams of these projects to follow their
madness.

And second, if GNOME actually goes that way to consider itself a
independent island, with it's "apps" no longer being able to be used
correctly from outside,... than it should be thrown out altogether for
this behaviour that is against the principles of FLOSS.

It's basically as if they'd create their own isolated OS, something like
Android, and people from inside can't cleanly use stuff from the outside
and vice-versa.
If they want this (and actually they seem to do) fine... but then they
should be kicked out of any Linux distribution.

Cheers,
Chris.
