Honestly I think not. Current maintainer is discouraging 2.8 packaging, plain and simple, as you can see by wxwidgets 2.6 reports. I can also partially justify him, but to be honest I would understand better if he would orphan that package instead, as many people do when they have to cope with brain-fucked upstreams and have neither time not will of doing that. Delaying and complaining is not a solution and do not help to achieve a better quality of the product. If all of us did that, we would have to drop tons of libraries and programs out there and probably the whole project. -- Francesco P.
