Thank you Andreas, I very much appreciate you saying this. Also my email
had the wrong tone, a bit too blunt and provocative perhaps.

I have looked at recent commit history for meta-gnome; my impression is
that it only gets ad-hoc patching so that things still compile, and
nobody is doing a systematic effort to keep things up to date and
working. So the layer is effectively unmaintained and slowly bit rots.

Yes; getting gobject-introspection to work and perhaps taking it into
oe-core is something that we'd really like to do, so I plan to look at
it when I have a bit of breathing space later this or next week.
