No, by rip it out, I meant branch and then revert the patches in trunk. But wrapping it all in a configure option would be OK, too, as long as Robert can get back to working on it before bit-rot sets in. I did a little research yesterday on replacing libgnomecanvas. There's a replacement library called goocanvas [1] that's actively maintained, works with Gtk3, and is somewhat similar to libgnomecanvas. I think that's better than rewriting to cairo, which is pretty low-level.
