I think an API version file should be a permanent thing, it's also
useful for other changes in sorcery, like the recent addition of another
option to conflicts.
As to a date, gnome 2.6 final is supposed to be released in a week, so
giving it some more days to get fully updated and integrated into test
i'd say we can start the big change in about ten days.
Just to clarify why i want to wait for the gnome release, we can't
easily do a global change on the whole grimoire like a rename of some
spell files easily with such a big change waiting in devel to be
integrated soon. We will probably need to do some few renames directly
in test for the WIP spells, or integrate those selectively, but this
just isn't feasible for a whole section.
