because every new GLib release drags in more dependencies. It is a bit
out of control. So requiring the 2.32 comes at a cost that I am not
willing to pay right now. We already have seen this with ConnMan where I
accidentally used a newer GLib function that was not present in a 2.28
and before. It is pretty hard for embedded system to do these kind of
upgrades when their dependencies and thus footprint and memory
consumption increases for just a simple convenience function.
