Maybe just use 100.

>From release 12 to 36 it's been a little over 2 years so at that rate
it's around 3 years until we reach 100 on gtk2. By then we should have
most end users above 10.1.3 and those that aren't are very unlikely to
be updating versions of Activities anyway so if we hit the 90s we can
go to dot releases. By them I hope gtk2 stuff is dead and we're all
just dealing with gtk3+
