That's more or less my understanding, but it's an informal one, true.
The goal is strictly and specifically to get gnucash working with
as-close-to-feature parity with 1.8 under gtk/gnome2.  That's taken some
interesting twists (gog, gconf), but those are basically in support of
the above.

We need to get to a G2-supporting release as quickly as possible.

Well, with respect to the scope of commits, it's not exactly a
"bug-fix-only" branch, but it's not a "dev" branch either.  There's some
larger-than-a-bug-fix work to be done; neither QOF-pullout nor
register-rewrite-in-gtk would be on my draft of that change-list,
though.
