Remember, a single process cannot load both gtk2 and gtk3 - you *will* get random crashes. If you think that dealing with interesting bug reports - e.g. caused by application foo which was built against your wxGTK[gtk3] and then crashed after enumerating its plugin directory because of the presence of binary plugin bar which links to libbaz which sometimes dlopens gtk2 at runtime when USE=wombat is enabled - is more fun than doing a bit of work at the start and slotting wxGTK, then please go ahead ;)
