IMO the steps to do the testing are too complicated to do even for 
technical people. I think we should just merge the GTK3 branch as soon 
as possible to do a release. In the end we're still rolling out 
development releases, and this is exactly the purpose of this kind of 
releases: early feedback by users without the need of do the compilation 
themselves.
