You must have missed the news implied by that "following up" wording, |
| 16 |
then. See the announcement/thread "February 2014 QA policy updates", |
| 17 |
posted by creffett, just a few minutes before this thread started. |

Thus indeed, "anything but temporary" it appears to be. |

(Personally, FWIW, while I understood the previous policy and wasn't |
| 25 |
complaining, as a user who doesn't yet have gtk3 installed and who hopes |
| 26 |
to convert all my installed gtk dependers to gtk3 at once and kill gtk2 |
| 27 |
at the same time I install gtk3 when the time comes, I do appreciate the |
| 28 |
new policy, as it'll be that much easier to track what's pulling in one |
| 29 |
or the other during the transition period.) |
