I was not suggesting that anybody be forced to maintain gtk2 itself.
However, I don't see any efforts underway to remove it right now.
gtk2 isn't actually deprecated in Gentoo. If it were then I'd look at
things differently.
If the day comes when nobody wants to maintain gtk2 in the tree, then
it will have to go. If a single developer or proxy wants to maintain
it and does so, then it can stay.
And nothing in portage will be supported "indefinitely."
