Well, GtkIconView doesn't offer all the functionality of ExoIconView, and
ExoIconChooser doesn't have a Gtk alternative. Since e.g. Thunar relies on these
features (not to mention it requires serious patching to even compile with
Gtk3), I don't see exo going away anytime soon.

Since the mailing list doesn't really like attached patches, my (highly
experimental, not necessarily useful and surely not production-ready) git trees
are also available online: https://github.com/rgcjonas/exo-gtk3 and
