Because it sounds contrary to the recent Mir interview. It also seems kind of weird that a desktop distribution would want to make such an enormous amount of applications second class citizens in this way. It seems unlikely that they'll add GTK+ as a language for Ubuntu SDK anytime soon, but that's a completely different thing and wouldn't affect Elementary in any case. I would certainly expect Canonical to add a GTK+ backend for Mir. Otherwise, they'll have close to no hope of making Mir a successful display server. More information about this would be very interesting read. Jo-Erlend Schinstad
