GTK 2.6.0 was released in Dec 2004. On the first hand, I think even
though this is a long time, there are still a number of systems
running that version (Solaris, AIX, RHEL, SLES ...). On the other hand
tools like GIMP are depending on much younger versions of GTK so a
part of that users already needed to update their version of GTK. Maybe
this step could be done after next major release. with putting a note to
release notes. 

Cheers, 
Frank
