I grant that it's different when you talk about toolkits versus things like glibc and a.out where recompiling fixes most problems. Source compatibility and binary compatibility are different. But, considering that I don't see qt 2.x around anymore (it was in RH9 but not FC1), and it's neither source nor binary compatible with qt 3.x, and I don't see a lot of other older compatibility stuff around, I wouldn't be suprised if gtk+ went to Extras after nothing in Core needed it. We don't include gtk+ 1.0.x, even though it's also incompatible with gtk+ 1.2. John Thacker
