[wp-testers] Has the Google Gears feature been removed from 3.0?

[Kirk M]

Thanks for the reply. I forgot about ticket 11301 which I had been 
following until "life in general" called me away (we all know how that 
is, yes?). I will say that running WP 3.0 nightlies on a test install 
(Firefox 3.6/Ubuntu 10.04 beta 1) is very stable and fast even without 
Gears. Seems like you devs have been hard at work at streamlining the 
back end a bit?
