Yes, that's why we did our last release with older gtk support last week.

3.16 is needed for gtkglarea and it the proper way to do GL with gtk. It fixes number of issues, such as portability to wayland which was non-trivial.

If need be, we could lower gtk3 requirement to 3.10 (droping wayland support in this case). Afaik, 3.16 is going to make it in rhel7 as part of regular desktop rebase.
