Hi,

Looks like upstream just switched to GTK4 in the new version, I don't
really want to add support for multiple versions downstream.

If I upload the version that is now in experimental to unstable, what
happens if gnome-control-center 42 is not uploaded yet? Will it break?
Should it be treated as a transition? Or can I just upload it
immediately?
