There's no *absolute* need, but it's unlikely wxmaxima would be in
bullseye if you insisted on sticking with GTK2.
But as Scott already said, there's time before bullseye to work through
remaining problems - that's why we started the transition early and
why we're trying to push it along now. Please put your time and energy
into resolving any blockers rather than into questioning the transition.
The only potential fly in the ointment is that upstream are making
noises about 3.2.0 again - *if* a release actually happens and in time
for us to seriously consider it for bullseye then we'd really want to
get this transition done first.
Either way, the key thing is to provide upstream with clear bug reports
(and all the information in one place, not split over an upstream bug
report, a debian bug report, and a thread on an upstream mailing list
without even any links between any of them) and ideally their preferred
form of reproducer.
Cheers,
Olly
