No plans for a 3.24, no. I don't think there is much of a problem with
adding deprecations - they are really a tool to help people prepare for the
jump to the next version. If you want to stick with 3.22.x, there is no
reason to chase deprecations.

As for new API, we have been pretty careful so far, and only allowed some
very minor additions in 3.22.x. Any examples you are thinking of ?

I'm afraid that a gtkmm 3.24 that is based on gtk+ 3.22 would cause quite a
bit of confusion.
