If the gtk-rs maintainers avoid doing a major update for GNOME 48 like
they had been doing for every GNOME release, it makes this set of
updates a lot easier to manage. Snapshot is the only other app we have
packaged that uses glycin.
>From my perspective, I agree with the desire to have the new loupe,
the apparent low impact on other apps or critical components, and the
reasonable likelihood that we could get Loupe 48 Alpha updated to 48.0
for Trixie. Therefore, I am ok with your plan to upload to
Experimental first and then to Unstable when the components look ready
to you.
