Yes, as the Gnome (not GNOME since 2012: when they _left_ GNU)
developers scream in a high falsetto voice "DEPRECIATED! HAHAHAH!".
I did compile GTK1 recently it took all day and would not compile with
current GCC without a patch. Distros don't ship it because
DDDEEEEPPRECCCIATED!!!!
DEEEPRECIIAATED (woman "developer" who is hired by Gnome screams,
OUTREACHERY!)

Process is used to control the men, who are seen as cattle, who /were/
the hackers, now.
A bunch of scumbags control the distros, and agree with the women: GTK1
and GTK2 are DEEEPPPRECIATED (high-five, woman will sue the male later
for it) DEEEEPPPREECICIIIAAATEEED: so don't you distros compile it: and
thus don't you mmmaaalllleeee hackers dare use it!
Oh and we have a CoC for GTK3! HAHA! DEPRECIATING YOU!!!!! HAHAHHAHAA
WOMYN POWER! OUTREACHERY!

at https://www.gtk.org/download/linux.php we read:
"Some applications still require GTK 2, an older stable version of GTK.
You can have the run-time and development environments for

computer."
the GNU project is about FREEDOM.
You have complete freedom to keep using GTK2 and software that uses it.
There
is no way it can be "abolished", since you already have it. Likewise
the GNOME developers
have complete freedom to program newer versions if they want to. The
point of FREE software
is that there can be no "monopoly", everyone has the source, and no
one is required to use
any particular version. User fears about GNOME are exaggerated.
