You mean, a policy to keep gtk3 alive? :)  Not sure, I'd let it die, but
not everyone agrees unfortunately.  gtk20 obviously is staying.

Seriously though, gtk20 is being far better than gtk3 ATM.  gtk3 is slow
and crappy, and just one major regression compared to gtk20 (with a few
exceptions like touch devices support).

Some projects that had switched to gtk3 at first later regret this decision
and returned under gtk20 sanity.

I'll have a look and either fix it or file a PR.
