I don't quite understand this. gtk4 is currently at version 3.90. If I understand the new upstream versioning scheme correctly[1], gtk4 won't have a stable API/ABI until around 4.6. Does this mean we'll be shipping an LTS release for 18.04 that contains desktop applications built with a version of gtk4 that is considered by upstream to be a pre-release version that we'll then need to support for 5 years? How are we going to handle upgrading to the final API/ABI stable version that developers are going to target with their applications? Marc.
