The question is when to start bumping the gtk+ version requirement for Inkscape? If we want to support LTS linux distros, we could be waiting a **very** long time.
LTS distros have their own LTS versions of Inkscape.
Of course it would be nice to work everywhere, but if you have an LTS distro, chances are that cutting edge features are not your focus. Installing a new version of Inkscape on such a system is kind of self-defeating: you want stability and consistency, but then you give it up by installing unstable software. Therefore I don't think we should hold back development for this use case.
