OCD triggered:

Two very optional (it's an example after all) suggestions given you're 
already changing it:

1) Example-timeliness niggle: s/gtk-1/qt5/ (or pick other appropriate...)

qt5 isn't out-of-tree yet but the effort is toward that /eventually/,
so it's a far more current example than gtk-1. (/How/ long has that been 
out-of-tree?)

2) Style niggle:  Wrapping a two-word phrase to put just one on a line by 
itself... [grumble, grumble].  Sentence line-breaks are even better
so maybe (example in-point, "maybe:" wrapped to its own line...):

> +## # Doesn't work with new libfoo.
> +## # Upstream dead, qt5, smells funny.

(Or maybe with the shorter qt5 it'll all fit on one line?)

Again, both entirely optional, but that /would/ satisfy my OCD. YMMV.
