Specifically for 0.84 I believe that some activities only supports the 
"redesigned toolbar", and judging from its Git source branching Browse 
is one of those.

There might be other issues too, and the issue might have been fixed 
later on so that the 0.84 branch is no longer used so is a wrong measure 
for me as distributor to look for.

I have been around long enough to have heard about it when the toolbar 
was redesigned, so am aware of that particular issue.  But others might 
not - and I would appreciate not having to rely on my own jusgement and 
code analysis but being able to lookup hard facts published by the 
upstream project.

The question here was not if it _works_ with 0.84, but instead if it is 
considered as _part_ of the "core" Sugar environment.  So when you 
mention backporting efforts, I suspect that we are not talking about the 
same thing - or perhaps your use of "backporting" is what I would call 
"deriving".

Sigh...  I know that mentioning "core Sugar" might spawn a discussion on 
its own. :-/

Yeah, that's my impression too.  Thanks for reassuring that my big 
efforts on multi-branched packaging for Debian is not a total waste :-)
