Re: RFC: Planning to branch for 2.6

One thing that might be nice for 2.8 would be a cairo graphics class
too. This would allow abiword and gnumeric use the same goffice version
(and use of the gnumeric component in abiword). I fear that the current
situation is most probably going to confuse packagers for some
distributions.

Cheers,
Jean
