Yes, sorry. I've been busy with work, cold virus and getting gstreamer-
1.12 and GNOME 3.24 ready, so I haven't been able to deal with lower
priority things, like getting rid of completely upstream unmaintained
software, or security vulnerable webkit-gtk-2.4 and gstreamer:0.10.

The point was, no new application development should be done against
libglade, and any existing projects (that are apparently actively
worked on, as would be the case when an IDE is sought for) should work
on migrating to GtkBuilder, available in gtk+ core since 2.12 or so; so
not even a gtk3 thing to talk death exaggeration about.
