Please don't mix apple and oranges - the email is about RHEL and not about Fedora. We don't have any intentions for removing GTK 2 from Fedora (at least not for the foreseeable future) and even if that would happen, we would orphan the package so anyone from the community can step in.

The rest of the idea is instead force the retirement of the package we move it to the archive group , and by default archive group is not used , but if any one need a library to run an obsoleted applications he can . As Kevin Kofler (more or less) wrote in "Pcre Deprecation" thread, maybe we should be prepared to support pcre-1 forever and IMO we also can extend the concept to other packages, btw GTK2 is one of them .
