Hummm, you should only trust what is said on this mailing list. Don't
trust outside sources if there is no quotes or source in this mailing

True, see my previous mails.

> Ubuntu One might be integrated by default;
Wrong. Completely (because it's Qt, and because pcmanfm doesn't
support plugins).

> better file manager that includes support for ssh/ftp;
Wrong, no plan to replace pcmanfm.

> FreeCiv or another game might be added by default;
Wrong. Others games are considered, but the choice was not made.
