When upstream supports both, and the maintainer wishes to do so as well, I would strongly recommend to support both, so that end-users can make their own choices. Some may wish to use the applications in a light-weight gtk2-only environment such as LXDE. As long as gtk+:2 is supported in the tree, I don't see why we should artificially restrict such choices for our users. -- Cheers, Ben | yngwin Gentoo developer
