New GTK in GNOME 2.20

I’m glad to hear that the release-team has decided to push ahead and approve Glib 2.14 and GTK+ 2.12 for the next GNOME release. Awesome!

One of the diseases that arises in group psychology is that sometimes it is hard to say “yes”. It looked for a while like people on one side or the other (or both) were going to flinch. I’m glad that didn’t happen. I know there was some proactive negotiation and give-and-take on the part of both the GTK hackers and of the release-team. Well done everyone.
