You know... I am not that sure it sounds _that_ good. If he's working on something else, even if that has something to do with the GDK:
1) He's not focusing on the GDK, he's actually working on something else first and foremost;
2) Although he may be fixing things in the GDK, he's probably fixing only stuff that is hindering his main project, not the stuff we've reported;
3) Even if he's fixing everything we reported, the update will probably take a long time because it is contingent to his "spare" time;
So, yeah, call me cynical but these news are a bit of a mixed blessing.
I have vague plans for World Domination
