Many of the maemo patches are already in GTK+ head, and more are coming. In the long term, we need to work on making Cairo more suitable for embedded use. In the short term, I have no objections if people using 2.6 want to maintain 2.6 bugfixes in the gtk-2-6 branch in cvs, and maybe even do another bugfix release from that branch. But it should be pretty clear that the GTK+ team doesn't have the man power to maintain that branch.
