This causes a real problem with Gtk Perl applications. There are no Perl
modules to create indicators for Gtk3 (that I could find). All I could
find was Gtk2::AppIndicator. You are effectively forcing Perl developers
to Gtk2 rather than allowing us to move forward to Gtk3 development.
This halts development of new programs that culd take advantage of the
new library because you are imposing an arbitrary requirement that not
all environment yet support.

Until there is a full suite of functionality for Gtk3, removing any
backwards compatibility just hurts developers and users alike. Ask
yourselves this: Who/what is being hurt by allowing the whitelist to
exist ?
