The proverbial 'soon'.

Realistically, this conversation appears to be 'let's drop it because
it uses GNOME 1'. I'd argue that, especially since the work is
in progress, that that's not the reason it should be dropped. If
you're willing to drop all personal finance stuff from Core, that
seems like a more consistent idea.
