Personally, I think of GTK-2 as the downgrade.  GTK-1 would be an
upgrade.

Besides that little commentary, there are many, many situations where
you have to downgrade on linux.  I very often see that with libxml,
since v2 is incompatible with v1, and many programs were written using
the v1 lib.

That sounds like the kind of thing we regularly hear "in the linux
world".
