I disagree witho you and hasufell.

It *IS* users destiny if they get some stabiity issues because of their=
=20
decision to have gtk2-only or gtk3-only system.

Yes, they can paste bugs about improper toolkit support. Is it bad? Rul=
es says=20
it should be reported upstream. And all the time Gentoo exists that wor=
ked=20
this way.

The whole point of Gentoo is to give user freedom of the choice. Freedo=
m to=20
decide every aspect that is possible to decide about. Freedom to use Ge=
ntoo=20
exactly as they want, but not as "you don't need feature X, because I'm=
=20
maintainer/QA and said that", like some DebUbuntu maintainers did with =
git or,=20
say, ejabberd, some years ago. Any movements to the easy side of "we wi=
ll not=20
support feature X, despite upstream still support it, because feature Y=
 is=20
newer and shiny, and feature X can be less tested" is a big fat violati=
on of=20
Gentoo philosophy.

And I totally agree with Rich: it is maintainer decision, if they ready=
 to=20
support mutiple build variants or not. And if not =E2=80=94 it is absol=
utelly lawful=20
user's right to file a bug against a package, that it has support in up=
stream,=20
but has not in the Gentoo.

WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO DICTATE users what they should use and what they sh=
ould=20
not. We are makers of kinda army swiss knife suite that give user possi=
bility=20
and instruments to make everything they want. And any tries to say "you=
 shall=20
use SystemD, but not sysV/openrc/upstart/whatever", or "you shall use g=
tk3=20
only", or "you shall use Qt5 only", and so on =E2=80=94 is a CRIME agai=
nst Gentoo=20
philosophy.

mva
