Hi Anish,

it means a backport from sugar-toolkit-gtk3 to the sugar-toolkit. The 
feature landed only in sugar-toolkit-gtk3 so far, so only activities 
that are ported to the new toolkit and GTK+3/pygobject3 will make use of 
it.

The gtk2 toolkit is under deprecation policy atm, means in general we 
will only do bugfixes to it. This feature might be an exception (this is 
what the patch and the removing of the naming alert one is about), 
because we would get a consistent behavior with both activities the ones 
that use the sugar-toolkit-gtk3 (e.g. Read and Browse) and the ones 
using the old toolkit (e.g. Write, Memorize...) like that. As well the 
educators Gonzalo talked to the other day were very excited about the 
new way of adding descriptions - maybe it is time for an exception.

Regards,
    Simon
