But really, they have Geany latest, can't install new software, have a 
really old GTK+ version, need features from bleeding edge Geany and 
can't get you to update them from source or do it themselves?

This sounds like either a completely fictitious or insignificant group 
of users to me. If they can't make due with older Geany versions, can't 
update their GTK+ environment, but *can* install Geany from sources, I'd 
say they're either schizophrenic, lazy, liars or in the 0.001% of total 
users. In all cases, IMO, they aren't worth serving for free on my buck.
