Well, we ended up simplifying it a lot. We now have two things:

 GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED - brackets stuff that has a replacement that 
                          should be used in new code instead. the 
                          deprecated stuff will be removed whenever 
                          we decide it's a good idea, no fixed policy.
      

 GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN - brackets actively buggy/broken stuff, like
                     GtkTree. This stuff will likely disappear
                     quickly.

So there's not really much of a policy, KISS.
