I know a that a lot of Linux systems are moving toward Gtk 3, but there are so many packages in the repositories that are still compiled with Gtk 2 in mind. The authors provide Gtk 3 options for several of them in the configure process. Geany and the wxWidgets library are a couple examples.

Is it possible that with Xubuntu and Lubuntu the packages could be maintained for Gtk 2 but have newer alternative packages compiled specifically for Gtk 3?

Hopefully more authors start to do this. But then of course, the applications that rely heavily on canvas drawing will have to switch to Cairo.
