I definitely pushed back on this, I didn't want to end up with 4 or 5
"supported" build services.  However things have changed somewhat - the
length of time until 10.3 means two shipping versions of GNOME probably
and the /opt/gnome -> /usr move wasn't factored in.  I guess what we
should do is rename G:U to G:216opt or something, move 2.18 to G:S
(built only for 10.2 and factory) and start in on 2.19 in G:U.

The downside of course is not being able to get more testing on 10.2 -
unless we can get that compatibility package built asap which might make
2.18 feasible on 10.2.
