Moreover, could we stagger the 2.31.4 tarball due date for applications
by a couple days?  That would give application maintainers a chance to
build against newly-released gtk3-dependent libraries and do some quick
smoke testing before releasing their own tarballs.

If we try to release both gtk3-dependent libraries and applications
simultaneously I fear it's gonna to be a train wreck.
