Thanks a lot for bringing this up! I agree.

A statement of the gtk+ folks about their commitment to their GSEAL
plans would not hurt.

I can see several options here:
      * This is a problem of those older distros and upstream gtk+ does
        not need to care about it
      * If'def a lot of code in the affected modules
      * Introduce those API additions to upstream gtk+ 2.12.x and
        publish a 2.12.13 tarball
