Hi,


As some of you may have noticed we have recently deprecated Stock
Items in master.


Some details on this change may be found here:

Please let us know what you think.

This deprecated several classes (GtkIconFactory, GtkIconSet,
GtkIconSource, GtkImageMenuItem, GtkAction, GtkUIManager).

It also deprecated GtkRecentAction, because it deprecated the base
GtkAction. So far it has no replacement for use in the world of
GAction/GMenu/GtkBuilder instead of GtkAction/GtkMenu/GtkUIManager:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707422

Isn't this reason enough to revert the deprecation of GtkAction and
GtkUIManager?

Deprecation without replacement makes the deprecation less useful to
application code because it makes it impossible for me to achieve zero
use of deprecated API.
