No, the decision with the gtk/gtk2 USE flag mess was to have package maintainers decide for each ebuild whether to support only gtk1 or only gtk2, but not have support for both in a single ebuild. The decision before that (and one with more support, IIRC) was to have one flag for gtk1, and one flag for gtk2. But what you're proposing now is getting back to the old mess, except defaulting to gtk2 instead of gtk1. That not only doesn't fix anything, but even says that gtk1 support was removed from a bunch of ebuilds for no benefit whatsoever. Please don't do that. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
