Wouldn't that be a reason to keep it around, to make sure that these systems can
switch to the GTK+2 implementation to circumvent bugs?
I would rather people upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS than still use 16.04.
Apart from an up-to-date GTK3, Ubuntu 18.04 uses GNOME which also
resolves a lot of Ubuntu specific bugs. There were also a lot of theme
fixes for 18.04 which make quite a difference IIRC.
Though, giving this some more thought, my previous arguments are pretty much
moot, as you and Aleksandar have pointed out. I might be one of the few which
are using SWT with the GTK+2 implementation because the biggest part of my DE is
still GTK+2.
Is this the only reason? Or are there some other SWT GTK3 bugs which
prevent you from using SWT-GTK3? The DE being GTK2 shouldn't be an issue
when running SWT-GTK3.
