You'll end up with this funky hybrid G2.4/G2.6 release in that case. I
think Gentoo did that when they up'd to G2.4 (from G2.2), and it wasn't
the prettiest picture. And with G2.6 we have a new GTK+ release as well.
Ross is right in this case I believe. GTK+ can get added since its
independent. But it just makes more sense to build up the G2.6 release
into experimental, the drop it into unstable. If you really want G2.6
there are a number of other ways to build it (jhbuild, garnome, etc).
