Not quite, I was talking about making the next stable releases in the
2.x series match;

PyGtk-2.22 = Gtk-2.22
PyGObject 2.26 = GLib 2.26

I am not concerned with PyGObject version != PyGtk version because Gtk
and Glib versions don't match. I also don't think it necessary to have
either the same version as the GNOME version number because the GNOME
version number will change with GNOME 3, and so will Gtk.
