Bug Description

Please remove gtk+4.0 from bionic.

gtk4 is still beta, pre-release and really doesn't have apps using it yet. The Ubuntu Desktop Team feels it would be better to not have an old pre-release snapshot of gtk4 in the LTS release since it will probably just confuse and frustrate app developers. gtk4 could be made available in a PPA instead.

We intend to re-introduce gtk4 after 18.04.

Ok, if this package will not be maintained it's best if we get it removed, as per request.
