I brought it up on IRC with the release team a couple devel releases ago. With J5 in fact. We were supposed to switch over to the cairo snapshot due that day, but that snapshot was delayed, and seems like the move got completely forgotten. I here propose that GNOME 2.18 depend on cairo 1.4. To facilitate testing, the beta release due tomorrow should require the latest cairo 1.3 snapshot. Cairo 1.4 is currently scheduled for the end of January. Possibly slipping over, but I think we can commit to releasing it before Feb 12 which is the deadline for next GNOME beta release. Carl? Note that no major work is expected between the current snapshots and 1.4. Only a few bugs to fix.
