In my opinion, almost always needing the development version of e.g. GTK is 
what is keeping GIMP a project with hardly any contributors. But that's an 
application, not a framework. Still -- if you want to have a healthy project 
with many contributors, making it hard to develop by requiring lots of 
unpackaged isn't a good idea.
