<PRE>I maintain an open source GTK# 2 application which is included in
debian/ubuntu. However I can't port to GTK# 3 until there are
supported bindings which are packaged for Debian.
At a minimum I need:
* The bindings are supported and stable
* The bindings are packaged for and included in debian (and by extention ubuntu)
* The bindings will be updated as GTK changes (otherwise my app will
be removed from debian due to unmet dependencies)
If these assurances cannot be made then I have no choice but to
continue to use GTK# 2.
My guess is that the same is true for other opensource GTK# applications.
