We are quite aware of Gnome 2.3, given that several of us are
maintainers of core Gnome modules. This also means we are aware of the
schedules involved. However, Red Hat Linux is on a time-based schedule,
and it was clear long ago that Gnome 2.4 would be released too late to
be in the current release.

Luckily, both Gnome and Red Hat are using a time-based schedule with a
pretty fast turnaround (both about 6 months). This means that even if
the schedule of the two projects will not always be synchronized it will
never take that long before the latest Gnome release will get into a Red
Hat release.
