I, personaly, think that it should be bumped to 2.10 if so many apps
use it or could take advantage of it, as Nick said.

But one thing to keep in mind is that Debian Stable still uses Gtk+
2.8. On the other hand, Debian won't also have official packages on
Xfce's new releases before 2.10 gets on Stable, I guess (2.10 is on
testing already).

Debian means a lot of users, if I recall correctly.
