It sounds great to have a networking library on our platform, but I am
pretty confident that it shouldn't be part of glib or GTK+.  Project
Ridley is primarily about getting widgets back into the widget library,
and making that library comprehensive.

We can start a larger conversation about what the platform needs, and
we're probably overdue for that.
