I wonder: If a project deliberately unilaterally abandons a #Freedesktop specification, would it be reasonable to ignore their voice in subsequent change discussions to that particular specification, for changes that other projects want to make to it?
After all, by breaking the convention, there apparently is no longer any interest in collaboration and cross-desktop integration anyway...
It would suck though, it would make the Linux desktop poorer, inconsistent and app dev's lives harder.

Oh no, I didn't see any email! Where did you send it? I would have replied for sure otherwise!
As for the notifications thing, I was a bit burnt out on controversies so I was basically waiting to see how things develop, as I didn't have an opinion yet. I do now though, so I should reply there.
@sonny Oh great, GMail spammed it... And you replied to my initial mail, even! Why is Google's spam filter so bad now? I'm really sorry, I will reply once I'm back from work!
@matk I'd still listen to their points (as they might be insightful for further developing the standards or to bring them back on board) but wouldn't let a NACK from them block a change if those still developing the spec find it useful.
