Dont forget mention of deprecated modules like gtk-xfce-engine (and the
package with gtk2 themes ¿xfce-themes?) on the official anouncement if they
are... sometimes disyros dront drop packages unless the dev told them or
just break

Also maybe a new default wallpaper (and updated xfce4-arwork alongside)?

And look if libxfce4ui still need gtk2, Arch still compile and depend those
two.

The three would be mention if Greybird is or not is recommended as default
theme (maybe recomend distros package it?)

And last what next? Is take us 5(?) Years from gtk2 to gtk3 so what of
ourselves for gtk3 to gtk4 now that they want a "fast release model"??
