Gnome 2.22 may wipe your /home partition

Have you guys seen this?

"Regarding taking ages to get into the tree:
GNOME-2.22 includes a full rewrite of the virtual filesystem, nautilus is rewritten in that area, lots of other things use it via glib-2.16's GIO now. It has had many problems, starting from not working functionality, and ending with it wiping your $HOME (yes, your home directory) as late as in release candidates when you happen to want to restore something from trash (fixed now..). Are you sure you wanted that in portage as soon as possible? Things are looking very good now, thanks to many cherry-picked patches and testing and we are near to unmasking. "

And also this little bug that deletes files without notice (in Gnome):

FUD or to be taken seriously?

*Note that I am not intentionally checking out Beranger's "I'm-so-pi**ed" blog. The main article was found here:

The first bug was fixed before release, and the second is from the old VFS system. Neither is worth worrying about, except as indicators of GNOME's sometimes-poor quality control.

That's reassuring. Thanks.
