GConf2

GConf2 is orphan, why ? no maintainers or a task force to be removed ?

GConf2 has been deprecated for well over a decade and afaik unmaintained
for nearly half a decade. Thus: please just remove it from your
dependencies and use gsettings instead (the upstream replacement).

Many packages might actually not require it at all: emacs was pulling it
in, but it works just fine without it and with gsettings instead.

Yeah, I am happy to let GConf2 go into the night... thunar-vfs depends
on it, but thats just the old vfs layer Thunar used to use kept around
for compatibility. It should go also.

I agree; it's time to let GConf2 and the rest of the GNOME 2 libraries go. If anyone disagrees and should pick it up, please only keep it for F33 and then retire it in F34, so that we don't keep the old baggage in the distro forever.
