Ok, I can't wait with GNOME-2.16.3 that long. I'm already late a month. |

I wonder how much packages KDE needs rebuilt with the expat bump |
| 20 |
(revdep-rebuild --library expat.so or something like that). Maybe |
| 21 |
including it in the GNOME bumps is a good idea if that has it for more |
| 22 |
packages than KDE. |

As for SLOTting, it was considered to be a maintenance nightmare by the |
| 25 |
person who was maintaining expat before, and as Caleb already pointed |
| 26 |
out in the correct subthread, not SLOTting seemed to be sensible course |
| 27 |
of action in this case as I gathered too some months back when looking |
| 28 |
into this while making stabilization lists for gnome 2.16. |
