guess what? You already have those!

Oh, you mean like GTK dropping geometry support and breaking GNOME
Terminal one day: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760944

I wonder what mechanisms or policies were in play there.

I do know that some brave souls scurried to workaround that in GNOME

I'll let the reader guess how many people use GNOME Documents versus
those who use GNOME Terminal or care about themes or fonts or
minimize buttons or wallpapers or suspend?
