I ran across this interesting post from an upstream GNOME developer
which I think deserves some signal-boosting, as I haven't seen much of
its contents mentioned or alluded to so far in this thread, and it's
quite relevant to how much we should expect this to be a problem:
http://blogs.gnome.org/desrt/2014/02/19/on-portability/
Aside from an anonymous troll (it's a shame everyone even remotely
involved appears to have to deal with those these days), his comments
seem to have pretty broad support among the other GNOME developers I
recognise who've commented.
