I'm sorry to see this thread spiral out of control and for my part
in that.

My intention was really to start a rational conversation around this
topic and raise a concern that I think is justified, whichever direction
this takes, it will be nice to know that the decisions made were
carefully considered.

We have a long history on this list of careful consideration of the
benefits and collateral damage of the new APIs we adopt, and in doing
so, make a certain commitment to maintain. This is what makes GTK+ a
safe place to contribute and a viable choice for application developers.

This said, I think Jasper has raised the right course of discussion,
all emotions aside I hope that we can follow his lead by simply
sticking to facts and having some rational discussion.

Best wishes for the new year,
