Hi,
Is it just me or all these changes we've recently made are not 'deprecations'

but ABI breaks?
If foo_frobnicate() changes from doing something useful to being a nop, we're
breaking our interface, whether we keep the symbol in the DSO or not. GObject
properties are no different.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against this kind of changes. But I'd rather see us
keep compatibility until GTK+ 4 is out than (rightfully) piss off our users
because of changes like this.
Regards,
Emilio
