Can you explain why you want this removed? It seems valid?

I am not part of the GTK team, and after a talk with the devels on #gtk+, they said the names gtk-* are reserved and misleading since I'm in no way affiliated with the GTK+ project. So I'm going to go with "Icky" for the name.

I don't understand. What is this project you are working on, and what's
the relationship between it and GTK+3? At any rate I can change the
owner of gtk3 to be ~registry to indicate that it is here for
registering purposes only.

My project is a GUI toolkit (https://launchpad.net/icky), which would normally be the successor of GTK2. Then, I thought "Hey, I could name it GTK3!". But since the GTK devels don't want some random stranger to name his own project GTK3, since that would be misleading, I decided to go with another name, more specifically "Icky".

I've reassigned gtk3 to registry admins, so you're off the hook. :-)

Can you help with this problem?
