Discontinued for the moment.

Who want to continues with this extension can do it (really always), it's free software and the decision of discontinue it is pure personal. If one day I discover how to feel at ease with gnome and more specific with gnome shell for sure I will return to use it and maybe for this time Gnome will have a way to support this extension over Wayland (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784188), without that, this is a dead code.

Outside the gnome shell, but inside its internal API I can find many of the things that have led me to love gnome, but with the recently break of standards (https://blogs.gnome.org/aday/2017/08/31/status-icons-and-gnome/) and more specific with the refusal to support other alternatives as a replace (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652122), gnome proved to me they will continues making things that I disapprove and the current way to do the things of gnome is 180 degrees out of my personal interest as a user, making me impossible to continues using gnome shell desktop.

I will want they will have always a successfully approval of all its faithful users. Gnome was and is to me a badge of free software, whatever they do, they are making it following the more strictly rules of what it mean Free Software, but also with all his love from sure.

But PERSONALLY, free software means to me: collaborate, support, help, provide, listen the users and developers, be inclusive. Free software not mean to me: break standards, only provide support for applications that follow his design rules, hidden options to the users, make private functionalists and/or libraries or take his own way not matter the discordance with other linux projects. Also not support what is clear something that most of users want to have.

I can not do extensions for all gnome functionalists that i want to have and they removed, further, If I want to try to feel at home with gnome, I am also limited by what gjs can do currently:(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786863).

Sorry for the inconvenience but I think it's better an explanation that nothing.
