[gentoo-user] Is Gentoo wiping out Gtk 2 support from packages that support it?

[Nikos Chantziaras]

Is there a secret plan in place to keep users from being able to use Gtk 
2 in packages that support both Gtk 2 and 3?  And if yes, why?  Is the 
user considered too stupid to grasp the awesomeness of Gtk 3 so that the 
devs have to force the choice upon them?

I'm talking about this:

   http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374057

So why should users not be able to choose Gtk 2 with a USE flag?  What 
is the reason people use Gentoo?  Isn't one of them the ability of being 
able to rebuild packages with different USE flags?

And what is happening to the developers lately?  Some of them have 
become hostile and arrogant against their own users.
