could you explain the gnome 2 thing?
RedHat6 is running Gnome2 until 2017...
there must be some sort of updates
Well, the fact that Redhat pays many of the Gnome developers, and Redhat is a commercial enterprise linux distribution,
speaks for itself, no? We just don't have the available ressources to maintain a full desktop environment, when it's unsupported upstream.
@rinjsma: Ok, but we need more packagers for things like that. Did you just volunteer?

Understand I'm not trying to pick a fight & further I do realize that the developer resources are slim...
all the stuff with gnome is a topic of discussion in many places
the 2 stable distros directly downstream of RH, Centos & ScientificLinux are on G2 until 17?
could be that they are just behind in development, content to stay with the status quo?
certainly by the time RH7 comes out G3 will be well sorted out, assuring a smooth transition for the commercial customers
