Yes.

> I am not very happy about non-necessary API changes / dropping of long
standing functions in the stable branch as we don't know what 3rd party
modules are relying on. Adding `G_warning("oi! stop using this function!
use bar() instead!")` is more productive IMO.
Anything using G_popen() was broken, as it didn't work on Windows (and
offered no advantage to using popen()).
