I think the pango optimization work is what prompted the move to Glib
2.9.x. Not sure the other stuff is really compelling, but...

Leaving this for others to answer.

We can't? I've been valgrinding apps successfully with jhbuild + glib
HEAD for some time now, what's broken?

I know gnome-utils started using g_slice_* from this release on and I
saw Christian and Alex discussing the use of it in gnome-vfs before the
release too, not sure whether any of that actually happened. Other than
that I don't know if anyone started using any newly added api's from
Glib/Pango.
