It's hard to get stuff into GTK+ because GTK+ has very high quality levels.
That's good. If people want something to go into GTK+ then they have to be
prepared to discuss it thoroughly, provide rationale, and go through a few
iterations until they get it right. So far nobody has done that for these
things. It's not up to the GTK+ maintainers to do it all. Stuff happens when
people care enough about it to do it themselves.

gtkextra is an awful mess. Maybe Gnumeric's new stuff will be a good
candidate.

libgnomecanvas is famously buggy and awkward. Maybe foocanvas is a good
candidate.

Now you are just being rude.

I thought you were not talking about replacements.

Yet they have not reached the necessary level of quality and nobody has
really tried to make them reach it. Dodgy stuff should stay in extra
libraries until it stops being dodgy.
