gtk2+gtk3 in RAM at the same time has a higher memory footprint than
either one alone.  If any package uses one or the other, it will end
up being loaded into RAM, so there is potentially value in using one
of them exclusively.

I'm not suggesting that package maintainers should be forced to
support both whenever possible.  I just don't think they should be
discouraged from doing so.
