Yes, I agree. We are still missing the gtk3 version of ghex and I think
it makes sense to keep Nemiver's gtk3 related work in a separate branch
until ghex's port is ready. Ghex doesn't seem to currently have a
maintainer, so that might take a while, unless we do it ourselves.

I do think that we should strive to keep the differences between master
and gtk3 branches minimal to make future merging easier.

What versions of libraries should the gtk3-free master branch target?
Should we target the latest gtk2 / gtkmm-2.4, or perhaps the
versions that are in Debian stable, or something in between (Fedora 14,
Ubuntu 10.10)?
