BTW, I think for future GNOME library deprecations it would be a good
idea to file wishlist bugs against reverse dependencies immediately
when GNOME upstream decides to deprecate things instead of filing them
closer to the removal time. For example I guess for GTK+3 that will be
coming during the bullseye cycle as GTK+4 is in progress? As I
understand it, GTK+2 is already deprecated so now is the time to file
bugs about that.
