I might be missing something in your argument. Looking at libcanberra |
| 16 |
it has IUSE="+gtk +gtk3" so users are getting both versions by default |
| 17 |
already, and that wouldn't change. |

I do appreciate that there is a distinction between providing support |
| 20 |
for gtk2/3 and consuming it, and that there may be value in |
| 21 |
recognizing that in general. |

If I missed anything you wanted to point out please let me know. My |
| 24 |
intent here is to understand your concerns, not dismiss them out of |
| 25 |
hand. |
