Other/future projects • Re: GTK2 revival

I fully understand that, but the reason why I shared l asked is: if it's just one thing holding him back then I might be able to patch that. Imagine using up-to-date software, but without any performance penalty and more security and features

Oh I'm sure he could fix issues himself. He's been backporting a lot of software for quite some time; I got many new versions from him on my system that otherwise wouldn't have been available for Mint 19/Bionic (Qt6, GCC 8+, a bunch of applications...). But as I said there may be many others that may need help, people that for some reason are forced to stick with old hardware/software, and who have no programming knowledge. It would be great if we knew at least the rough number of them but I guess it might be very difficult if not impossible. It's your choice how to deal with this. Personally I wouldn't want to force your hand in any way, just thought I'd mention what I know for sure.
