I was confused by the "also" in this sentence. I would have found
clearer to say:

"Note that libgtk4 never selected BR2_PACKAGE_CAIRO_{PNG,ZLIB} as it is
not needed thanks to [1]. However, we need to select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBPNG
.... <add some reason here>. In libgtk3, this was indirectly done as
libgtk3 selects BR2_PACKAGE_CAIRO_PNG."

Odd middle number indicate development/unstable releases. The current
stable release is 4.16.12. Could you use this version instead?

Thanks!

Thomas
