I recognize that, and that's fine.  What concerns me is the (would
"frequent" be too strong a word?) overemphasis on configuration changes
that make the world oh-so-pretty for Ubuntu while screwing over most
everything else.  This is not an exaggeration -- I can think of 3
examples without so much as glancing at the SVN commit logs.

All I said was "be careful."  And that's all I meant.  The world will
not _entirely_ move to gtk3 just when _Ubuntu_ moves to gtk3.

Fabulous.  Then the matter should not be discussed in terms of, quote,
"cross-compiling for windows using Ubuntu," as that belies an overtly
faulty, Ubuntu-centric mindset about how to go about a problem.  One
last time, the world is not Ubuntu, and Ubuntu is not the world.

I'm paranoid about stability.  I've got reason to be paranoid.  I've got
history to cause my paranoia.
