If a suite is actively used and there were no bug reports regarding memory leaks
for a year, then I'm ready to believe that for practical purposes the suite
leak-free.

If I see 9 memory leaks related bug fixes in one release, I won't beleive in
the claim.

Please reread the proposed clarification:

* for gtk+2.8.20 there are no known to developers occurences of memory leaks;
* gtk+2.10.* is effectively a developmnet release, so expect memory leaks and stay
away from it for production code.

and please pay attention to "no known to developers" and to
"effectively a developmnet release" - I should have said "branch" instead of
"release" - portions.

I suggest to update the FAQ to avoid any misinterpretation.

Regards,
  Sergei.
