Afaik, olivier was refering to debian etch instead of ubuntu edgy.
(especially the 'will ship' indicates he means a release which has not
been made yet, edgy has)
Debian currently has 2.10 in experimental, 2.8 is the version in
testing and unstable.

A feature we might want to have is 'recent document support' which is
available since gtk 2.10. However, since 2.10 is not regarded stable
(even according to gtk.org so it seems), I think olivier is right on
the dependency on 2.8. We do not want a release which has all sorts of
bugs simply because it is impossible to run on stable libraries.

And, another 2 years waiting for 4.6? Lets hope not ^_~.
