I think we're close to being able to lose this and move it to a compat lib status, similar to compat-glibc, etc. Mark it as deprecated and actually get rid of them within a release or two. The amount of new software being released still using these libraries is small and people can always get the old ones 2) GTK+ 1.2. This will probably stick around in the distribution longer, but I don't think that it necessarily needs to be installed by default. We have to be a little bit more aggressive with losing some backwards compatibility packages or else we're going to be at 6 CDs and 2 DVDs before much longer :) Jeremy
