Possibly; the other alternative is that nobody had really considered the question of whether or not it should be included. I'm unsure as to which is the case here. > Do you think there should be support for clutter in the sdk images ? I would say it depends on whether we believe it will be useful to new application developers, or we're just keeping it around for compatibility with existing applications. I can see it being useful but I'd probably like to hear from Jessica and others as well. > Clutter + dependencies is not a small package and was only getting into > images through testapps feature, and we could use gtk templates instead. True, but Gtk+ and Clutter aren't quite the same thing. I'm not an expert on Clutter by any means but I believe it provides a much better framework for animations and non-traditional UIs than Gtk+ does.
