Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [ticket:48969 devans@…]:
 > My understanding of the discussion is that the upstream developers do
 not intend to do anything about this themselves but have pushed the issue
 back to us to deal with.  They suggest using the Growl package to
 implement GNotifications on the older platforms. They appear to be willing
 to accept relevant patches for review. So I think the ball is in our
 court.

 I don't know how many of the people responding to my mailing list question
 were glib developers and how many were just users, so I don't know if
 we've received the opinions of the developers or not. But the discussion
 does appear to have died down without a satisfactory resolution.

 > A minimal solution that seems feasible and could get us by this impasse
 would be to create a minimal patch to make the new feature optional and
 only enable it on 10.9 or later.  This shouldn't be a burden for the older
 platforms since we haven't had any notification support up to this point
 but would allow current platforms to take advantage of this feature and
 others available in the latest glib2.

 That's the solution I would like, but I was hoping I would not have to be
 the one to create it, since I don't really know how.
