No bugs filed? Well, just search the archives of this ML, and search
bugzilla for all those bugs about portage pulling in gtk2 when users had
USE="-gtk2" set, or for all bugs about the confusion what USE="gtk
-gtk2" or USE="-gtk gtk2" actually means...

Shrug... Maybe speak up sooner next time, this debate has been over for
a long time and the decision was clearly to deprecate gtk2 use flag. Not
 going to do that? Shrug, oh well, perhaps QA will then, or not - I
don't care if you are going to confuse users. That bug is set as a
blocker for Gnome 2.14 release.

My email was intended to speed up closing that bug, not to start such
debate again. So - that's all from me.
