I absolutelly double that. That is the point which I evangelizing above. hasufell's statement about gtk2 looks like <some-other-devs> statement that we should drop "that your eudev, and, better, openrc too" and force users to move to SysD. Which would be a crime against Gentoo Philosophy. But, as usual, there is a sidenote: as you remember, we've dropped Qt3/KDE3 packages over the time (I remeber how I've upgraded to KDE4 about 7 years ago and there was situation, similar to current gtk2-3 one. And just right now there is another similar situation happening around Qt4-5). There is point to do such thing when upstream drop that support. Only. Also, there is a point to drop gtk2-only packages later, when upstreams will die. Until that, such proposiions looks like tyranny. -- Best regards, mva
