Wishful thinking. Porting from gtk2 to gtk3 is non-trivial or not even
feasible in all cases (without dropping some features/implementations).
Some developers are unhappy with gtk3. Others switch to Qt.
A team that take care of legacy software, preferably that update it,
I
got some in my own gdesklets , rawstudio, gmameui , flumontion ,
gtetrinet ...
Eventually, unmaintained software will break when all the things around
it change and nobody updates the software to reintegrate it well again.
