Seems good to me.  I agree.

What about widgets that are going to be deprecated?
There are a bunch of widgets in gtk+ that are just
gimp legacy (gamma, rulers, etc.), and the docs state
that in the future they will be put in a separate
library.  So even if they are not "obsolete" in a
strict sense (there is no new widget that does what
the old widget did), I will still want to put them in
the "Obsolete" category (or Miscellaneous).

I think that truly obsolete widgets, as
Gtk[C]{List,Tree} should just be removed.  If someone
really wants to use them, he's on his own.  We don't
need to make it easy.

ok, no problem.
