Oh I see that now: It's patch 23 in the series for anyone else looking. I
think this should be pointed out more visibly: the patchset essentially
removes gtk2 python support, a feature we've had so far.

Maintaining python-gobject-2 and python-gtk-2 should be possible alongside
the GI-based versions, but A) it only makes sense if there's real demand
and B) it obviously doesn't have to happen in oe-core.
