For the record, Seb has pointed out that he doesn't want to test it until release-team have committed to it for 2.12, for entirely reasonable reasons on his part. I'm more than happy to work with the gtk folks (and anyone else) to push testing heavily and deal with the results, FWIW, but that's Hard Work and our recent track record in pushing it without builds is poor.
