Actually the compromise we had reached was for Gtk 2.6 for 0.45, and then 2.8 for 0.46, IIRC. The reasoning was that Gtk 2.8 is not available on OSX. If this has changed with OSX, then presumably all issues against moving to 2.8 now would be resolved.
Well. Then this is a very sad day for me.

Sorry if I'm making a point that was already debated in the past - I haven't been able to find the past arguments in the archive.
The current status of Fink is 2.4.9 (stable) and 2.6.10 (unstable). Darwinports now has 2.10.6
At what point do we decide we can't wait for Fink any longer? We should be able to produce a full DMG package using 2.8 or 2.10 from Darwinports (or even standalone) so Fink users won't miss out on being able to use Inkscape. But if they want to develop or compile it themselves then they'll need to use Darwinports, or satisfy the dependencies manually.
Or is this likely to annoy a lot of people?
Well, it's been a few months since the issue came up, so I guess if it isn't fixed by now, one could wonder how long it could go on without a fix. In fact, it's equally likely that going forward despite the lack, could give those mantainers some motivation to bring those ports up to date. Or not.
Aaron, can you characterize the degree of pain that not having 2.8 as a dependency will pose?
