For why it's renamed: Would you have preffered -gtk2 as a new package and -gtk3 merged into -gtk? That would be the other alternative but the upgrade problem then would also be there for -gtk3 *and* people expecting to get stuff for a Gtk(2) dektop will get the GTk3 stuff. Might work, might not. And you were not able to remove -gtk then without breaking some GNOME functionality (gnome-documents) So it ended up as a new package. And yes, the upgrade path might not be clean, see the freshly reported #833676. Regards, Rene
