I would prefer not to add more things that depend on glib2 than necessary, just because rebuilding them after the fairly frequent glib2 updates is a nuisance. However, things like desktop-file-utils that end up being runtime deps of many other packages are a much bigger issue in this regard.
We have no experience so frequent glib2 ABI update. Apr 22 2011 2.28.6nb3 from gettext ABI change May 21 2008 2.14.3 switch to external PCRE library Feb 5 2006 2.8.6nb1 from gettext ABI change -- OBATA Akio / obache%NetBSD.org@localhost
