Well ... if someone wants to also put it in EPEL, then that is fine with me.

However, we don't want to release CentOS-5.2 broken, and we think that 
not having that package after upgrading the gtkhtml3 ABI to a new 
version is broken.

We have users/customers who have built custom software using gtkhtml3 
and we think that when we provide CentOS-5.2 with a new gtkhtml3 that we 
also need to provide a compat package for their custom enterprise 
software.  In fact, I don't understand why it is not being provided 
upstream.

We have a centos-extras repo for just such items.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
