We (taking my GStreamer hat) havent heard of any interest from the GLib
group for lightweight objects. Note that some library ended up also
having these lightweight kind of object, hence may be interesting to
eventually consolidate.

I think it is fair to say that there is more interest in fixing performance of GObject than there is in introducing a miniobject type. Not sure if that qualifies as 'interest in lightweight objects' or not.
