Because we have others priorities. Firstly, finishing transition that
are in progress and unfinished (ex: gpicview). It's just a note, we have
nobody planning to work on this. So, if someone want to try, he is free
to go. Just don't wait for a short term solution from us.

Just to make it clear for everyone. All people working directly on
Lubuntu are doing it for free, during their free time. Having support
from Canonical doesn't mean we have money or ressources, except building
ISO for Ubuntu build system. We working on some parts because we prefer
to work on them, that's it.

Yes, I broke some trunk repo sometimes, and I'm sorry about it.
Probably, it was not the good way to do thing. But when you are waiting
6 months or more for review of patches from Lubuntu, posting them on the
bugtracker, committed them to a separate branch, and nobody care about
them ... so yes, committed them to trunk was the only way to have
feedbacks.

Agree, that's why I try to commit every improvement / fixes done in
Lubuntu to LXDE directly. I don't want to maintain patches in Lubuntu
when it's not strictly necessary.

Ok thanks, don't hesitate to share good (or bad) surprises.
