I think it would be worth leaving it there primarily to ensure things
don't break. The recent catch with sugar-datastore with the breakage
that was caught by sugar-build is a classic example. With developers
concentrating less on the gtk2 bindings I think it would be useful to
leave just so it gets regular builds and doesn't break against
upstream changes such as glib2.
