[Sugar-devel] depending on introspection

Hi,

anybody has thoughts about the convenience (or not) of making Sugar
depend on the introspection stack in GNOME 3.0?

The biggest practical downside will be that Sugar 0.90 will only run
on next-cycle distros (Fedora 14, Ubuntu Maverick, etc) unless people
backport a lot of other packages (not recommended nor likely).

The upsides include: gradually dropping static bindings which are
generally unmaintained, less memory use, less cpu usage during
startup, access to new APIs such as GSettings and Telepathy-GLib.

Thanks,

Tomeu
