Ahh!  That gives a bit better context.  Thanks!

Okay, so for this phase of the project I'll focus on GTK4.  I would
expect the GNOME stack to set the hard requirement for GTK4 and the
integration there.  Which means GTK4 is the minimum needed support, GTK3
is more or less optional.

GTK3 support is then more for the older tools not (yet?) migrated to GTK4.
