I'm a little confused about what you actually mean here! Do you mean we should expect to have to maintain large patch sets for embedded platforms? I guess a gtk+-embedded branch would make some sense in that case as there are a number of players working in this area. I don't think any of the embedded people want gtk+ maintainers to do their work, but they do want somewhere where they can work together, and it seems at this moment, mainline isn't this - which is of course ideally what everyone wants.
