I remember discussing its status in a gtk+ team meeting; it probably

I see the potential use case, but the truth is that nobody uses that
widget; as far as I can see on CodeSearch, people either copy-paste the
widget or just use the RGB â HSV conversion functions that it contains.

anyhow, if it's not deprecated bindings should expose it.
