A few years ago Ubuntu desktop help was very very tightly linked with gnome help, and the majority of the files were the same. Subtle required differences were dealt with via the "if:choose" - "if:when test platform" stuff.

The last time we re-synced with the gnome help source was a few years ago, and Kevin Goodby was the driving lead. Prior to that, Jeremy used to push stuff up to gnome help to help keep the files in sync (or so I think it was).

With the deletion of the "if" conditions, we need to be aware that we are deviating from the past process, and it will difficult to go back. I think it is O.K. to go this way (mainly because I don't even use gnome and was never a contributor to gnome help), I just want us all to be aware (and I think I mentioned this somewhere before).
