10 There is no immediate reason, of course. However, gtk+-1 and glib-1
11 will be removed as soon after the big cleanup as is feasible, and
12 sylpheed-clasws-1.x is a gtk+-1 app, and therefore must go as well. I
13 didn't generate the list, but my understanding was that it was intended
14 to include all packages with a hard dep on gtk+-1, in addition to gnome
15 1.x.
