Comment (by mascguy):

 Replying to [comment:4 ryandesign]:
 > As far as I know, cairo, pango, and glib2 have always striven to be
 highly backward compatible, so I would most strongly oppose the creation
 of multiple segregated ports for them. It should completely suffice to
 have -devel ports for those wishing to explore new features or bug fixes,
 as we have already had for a long time.

 Agreed, and to reiterate, the desire is to avoid creation of additional
 ports when possible. Indeed, perhaps `cairo` and `pango` weren't the best
 examples.

 But in the case of `glib2`, we're presently using an older release, due to
 various concerns voiced during the GIMP 2.10.28 upgrade. And if we
 supported multiple segregated versions, we could have the best of both
 worlds: Keep the older release for the umpteen different ports that may
 break, but still move forward for dependents when desired/possible.

 So I'm not sure I agree, at least for `glib2`.

 > cairo 1.16.0 is the latest stable version; the port should be at that
 version. Hopefully the developers of gimp did not depend upon things not
 included in that version. If they did, then we should ask the developers
 of cairo to release 1.18.0 stable.

 Still need to look into this further.
