This sounds like the move KDE made with KDE4. I have some gtk stuff on
here but I'm not sure how much I actually use it. The new version may be
good one day but if it is not ready yet, why not wait until it is?

This is not about Gnome though. It's about Gtk. And portage never removed older versions, unlike Qt. Try:

  eix -e gtk+

Hell, there's still version 1.2.10 lurking in there! What are the chances there would be a Qt 1.x in portage?



I didn't mention Gnome. I have some gnome stuff on here but don't use the desktop itself. I just made the comparison to KDE3 being dropped when it was well known that KDE4 still needed some time to get some kinks worked out. From what was posted here, I got the impression that gtk2 is being dropped when gtk3 is not . . . well quite ready yet.

Just saying.  :/
