Sure, there's a good reason! I wanted to keep the same pattern as gtk has,
so that there's gtk3 and matching gtkmm3.0, and gtk4 and matching gtkmm4.0.

They are all long-lived parallel installable packages and most stuff is
going to be using the "old" gtkmm3.0 still for a number of years to come.

Doing it this way also makes it much easier to add the new packages to F34
where I don't want to be undertaking large package renaming.
