Indeed.  Sigh.  I would delay the Ghex part as much as possible, to give
a chance to someone to opt-in and share the fame :-) Maybe we could talk
more publicly about the need of porting Ghex to gtk3 at some point.

Agreed.

Good question.

I think targeting Debian stable does make a lot of sense, as long it
doesn't cause us too much hassle.  I would put Fedora/EPEL6 in the same
bag, for selfish reasons as I maintain the Nemiver package in
Fedora/EPEL6.  So that would mean us targeting gtk2 version 2.18 and
gtkmm2' version 2.18.

Are these too old?
