I'm not sure we should move gnome out.  While I don't mind moving 
non-essentials out, games, z-rejected, and cvs / daily, etc.  Gnome is 
one of the essential (at least for people who use gnome) sections for 
getting a system and desktop up and running.

Honestly, I'm beginning to think before we start going any further, I 
think we aught to sit down and plan out what goes where, rules for 
creation of new grimoires, etc.  I just don't want to see us go grimoire 
happy and create new ones just because we feel like it and for no other 
reason.

something just seems odd about me saying this as I just had my section 
moved out.
