Additionally themes being in portage or an overlay (even just data |
20 |
packages) gives users the benefit of not having to check for updates |
21 |
from tons of different places for different themes. |
22 |
Just emerge --update world and all is taken care of. |

As far as gtk-1* itself is concerned, GNOME team does not want to |
26 |
maintain it - however several other developers have already stepped up |
27 |
(in past threads) to take over maintainership. Just need to formalize it |
28 |
with someone at some point in metadata.xml |
29 |
In other words - gtk1 is probably not going anywhere in the foreseeable |
30 |
future. |
