    So you’re saying: don’t release the GTK 3 port until colour spaces are also complete? Why not give people what’s ready, and then when colour spaces are ready, cut another release? No need to make people wait who don’t need colour spaces.

    (Additionally, it’s easier to verify that bugs reported before the release of colour spaces are more likely to be related to the GTK3 port.)

      Colour spaces are ready. They are saying I may be hard to wire it up in all the right places in a month. Why not take two months and get it in? I mean, it has been over a decade already.

      Many people have been waiting for 3.x for literally half their lives. To save a month, they are going to launch 3.x with the big change being the toolkit? Seems like a wasted opportunity.

      If it were going to be 6 months or more I would agree with you. From the write-up though, they delay would only be a few weeks.
