one step closer to removing Gtk2, and the Gtk3 and Qt6 support is nice regardless of which desktop you use

+1.

As was discussed in the discussion thread, it seems that building 5 backends is a bit over the top. It seems gtk2 is needed, because gtk3 is still experimental. But the older two Qt backends should probably be dropped. So I think it'd make sense to build just gtk2 and qt6 and later on switch to gtk3 as soon as viable. But this is something that can be figured out when this is actually implemented. But please update the Change page if the plan changes, so that people are not confused.
