where "its users" is a small subset of people using a single, niche widget and who did not show up when said widget was on the pile of widgets to potentially deprecate: * https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2000-October/msg00163.html - yes, 2000. it was before GTK 2.0, and GtkRuler was definitely on the chopping board. sadly, we did not get around deprecating it immediately. * https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2009-October/msg00111.html - first discussion about deprecating over-specialized, unmaintained, niche widgets * https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613942 - tracking bug from 2010 about deprecating said widgets care to be slightly less melodramatic in the future? alternatively, if you find a deprecated widget, you can step up and maintain it. we can "undeprecate" it, after all. ciao, Emmanuele. >> none.
