Given the `gtk` USE flag for libcanberra enables GTK-2 support, while the `gtk3` USE flag enables GTK-3 support, it would be useful to at least have the `gtk` USE flag disabled by default given GTK-2 has entered EOL and Gentoo is working on gtk2-removal.
This is not going to do much, given that desktop profile is always enabling IUSE=gtk by default anyway. I suspect the current configuration will remain until the last revdep depending on gtk2 impl (claws-mail) is gone.
We could rename the flags: "gtk" -> "gtk2" and "gtk3" -> "gtk". Would help somewhat.
It should still be default enabled or introduces a default REQUIRED_USE conflict for claws-mail users, so does not achieve what the bug reporter wants. And that's a lot of useless churn in revdeps when cleanup is in its foreseeable future anyway, see bug 769464.
What I was looking for was libcanberra not to pull in gtk 2 if it's not necessary. If `gtk` is enabled by the desktop profile, rearranging the USE flags as proposed would work right? As for claws-mail, we can make it depend on libcanberra[gtk2] instead of libcanberra[gtk].
