I can't speak for Xavier, but some of us maintain applications for which the latest version is commonly in demand from users of older distros, and maintaining a separate branch is a fair amount of work if you're the only one doing testing, QA, and release management. There's no way I can consider dropping GTK2 compatibility from Tomboy for the next year or so, for example. I don't have the resources to maintain two versions. A separate but related issue is that unless somebody plans to update gtk-sharp, Tomboy may not be GTK3 compatible this cycle (I don't know off-hand what parts of gtk-sharp may be incompatible with GTK3). Do other non-C apps have similar issues, or is this just a problem with the Mono bindings?
