 GTK+ 2.12 aiming to be out far enough in advance of GNOME 2.20?  Awesome!

This is great news.

release team hat
Let's push GTK+ 2.11.x for next GNOME 2.19.x release !!
/release team hat

Moreover, since most devel distributions will (or have) switched to GTK+
2.11.x, it will allow everybody to catch bugs quite early in the
process.

 It's not in Debian nor in Ubuntu though.

 Not speaking for Ubuntu, I'd like to know whether current dev series
 are at least API stable before pushing them to Debian experimental; is
 this the case of Gtk+ 2.11.1?

If you mean API frozen with API stable, then the answer is no.  Only
the last few development releases are usually officially API frozen.

If you read the release announcements, I try to include some hints as to what
big api additions we still consider; small additions are still
happening too. But
we try pretty hard to keep the things that are already in the tree
stable, unless
the development release uncovers major problems with an api (thats the point of
devel releases, after all...)

 I do read the release announcements (I admit that I don't always trust
 the contents to be up-to-date since a lot of copy-pasting is involved).

 The reason I ask about API and ABI stability is that we have some
 policies, rules, and packaging guidelines which would conflict with
 pushing non-final APIs to Debian.  Debian/unstable would certainly not
 fit, and I'm not too hot on Debian/experimental as it's too visible and
 official.
   I have started bootstrapping a non-official complementary archives
 where we could upload Debian packages of development versions of GNOME
 libs prepared by the Debian GNOME Team and where this would be
 possible.

 Just my 2 ¢ on why you don't find gtk+2.0 in Debian just yet, albeit
 you can count on a speed inclusion of the last dev releases when API is
 declared as stable (i.e. no change, no removal, but only additions).

 If this happens, I hope that GTK+ will not then be frozen before GNOME
 2.21/2.22 development has really started, or else the new GTK+ API will
 be frozen before it is tested. Synchronization with the GNOME release
 schedule would be best.

Well, I obviously can't speak about GTK+ plans. But here's what I
believe is the current status:

 + GNOME: if GTK+ 2.12 is not out before the end of July, then it's not
   reasonable to depend on it for GNOME 2.20. While the goal of the
   GTK+ team seems compatible, there's currently no hard guarantee that
   GTK+ 2.12 will be released as planned.

 + GTK+: GTK+ 2.12 is already late, and waiting for the next GNOME
   unstable development cycle might not be reasonable either. Waiting
   for GNOME 2.21 means delaying 2.12 for at least 3 months.

Like everybody, I can't wait to use GTK+ 2.12 in GNOME. I'd even be
okay to push for this happening soon, and I'd be ready to annoy GTK+
developers to get the new GTK+ out in time :-) But I don't want the
first 2.12 releases to be buggy because they were rushed.

I'd love to hear what's the best option for GTK+.
