I think you're right, but I think it might also be too soon for this to
be considered RC, because progress cannot be made on its removal until
some transitions have gone through.
I've opened bugs for the four remaining reverse-dependencies:
- #993849: gnome-authenticator
- #993850: gnome-calendar
- #993852: gnome-metronome
- #993853: kgx
gnome-authenticator has a new upstream version 4.x that uses GTK4 and
libadwaita, but libadwaita is not yet stable and is in NEW (it might be
possible to bundle a snapshot in gnome-authenticator). gnome-authenticator 4
itself is a rewrite from Python into Rust, so this is unlikely to be quick
to update. (The Debian package is also mis-named, this is not an official
GNOME application.)
gnome-calendar has a new upstream version that uses libhandy-1, but it
cannot move from experimental to unstable until we are ready for the
evolution-data-server 40 transition, and there are two other GNOME 40
transitions that need to happen first (libmutter and libgweather).
gnome-metronome's upstream project appears to have disappeared, although a
replacement exists. It seems to be a very similar UI but not sharing any
actual code. (The Debian package is also mis-named, this is not an official
GNOME application.)
kgx is fixed upstream, but there has been no upstream release since it moved
to handy-1.
