Does this mean that bugs in it are getting low priority?  For example,
some things are surely irrelevant to gnome2 transition (like
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150524 and
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150514 which I just created).

Is the normal procedure for problems such as these to fix them in both
branches and still to periodically release the 1.8 branch, or do they
get fixed only on the g2 branch, or...?
