Enlightenment is a special case - we considered it, and didn't upgrade
because it integrated worse with GNOME than the version we had.  Also,
it was deemed buggier and not a good choice for the default desktop.
We will update it for the next release, when sawmill will be the
default GNOME wm.

uh, don't you mean sawfish? :)  it's shaping up to be a very nice WM
and works extremely well with gnome.  i quite like it and recommend
anyone who uses gnome to at least try it out.
