You do forgot that they keeps breaking things within gtk3 branches :)

gtk12 still have lot of people trying to keep it forever because it was lig=
ht :)
I do remember lots of discussions back in the time about people trying very=
 very
hard to keep gtk12 as long as possible claiming gtk2 is just crap and bloat

Things hasn't changed much in my point of view :)

note that I do personnally have no opinion on gtk2 and/or gtk3 support here,
just finding fun the same things seems to happen again and again.

Best regards,
