Except in this case, win9* users have it entirely in their power to control this, in that they can participate in providing that support. Indeed, Inkscape can *only* feasibly support a given platform if it has adequate participation by users of that platform.

Do you mean that users will have the power to fix the GTK2.8 bug ? Do you mean that some users should fork gtk ?
Don't you think that it's a not-my-problem answer ?
Of course they have the source to do it. SO ?
I think that a similar way to improve inkscape much faster would be to supply a todo list, with some hints to do it, and let the users develop it. That way, with such a user base, in 2 months inkscape could achieve a 1.0 goal. (one month for RFE and 1.0 RC1 and one month for bugs)
don't they have the source to do it ?
