Yeah, it will probably hit master before gnome-team.  But imho the
question remains on what rebase strategy to go for so as to keep
rebuilds on gnome-team minimal while we're still experimenting.

You are bumping once to 1.24.8, then 1.24.9.  I think this can be
reduced to one bump per package.

IMHO it should be neither.  It is only used to infer an install
directory that can be hard-coded instead.

I would still prefer keeping GLib/Gtk at 2.82 and 4.16 respectively. 
The first version mentioned in <https://www.gtk.org/> is the latest
stable, 4.16.5 – so we still got a bump ahead of us, just not one as
big.
