GStreamer on freedesktop

["Marc Boris Dürner"]

Dear Thomas, 
I may seem a bit aggressive here, but I assure you I am not ;) I do not want
Gnome or 
GTK to die, nor do I want KDE to dominate the world. Most of the code I
write does not 
use Qt, except some little frontends. I am neither a KDE person nor a Gnome
person; 
maybe a GNU person;) 
 
Freedesktop.org was sold to the masses as a zone, where there would be room
for 
creativity without the boundary of politics. It was promised that no desktop
specific 
dependencies would be allowed therefore. In the beginning there were mostly
file format 
specs discussed, which is great! 
Then there was the start of dbus and HAL, which was kept neutral by
implementing it 
without a dependency on glib or qt. It can even be seen as a reference
implementation 
and if you wanted you could reimplement it in any language/toolkit you want.
Again a 
great thing! You have the freedesktop Xserver and cairo not depending on
anything 
desktop specific. Excellent! 
 
I just want to make sure freedesktop.org keeps its promises and becomes
NEITHER kde 
NOR g* dependant! 
 
regards, 
Marc
