gtk3 shouldn't conflict with gtk2

Description
Is there any particular reason why the portfile for gtk3 lists gtk2 as a conflict? Both versions are supposed to be parallel installable according to the GTK maintainers. Having them conflict is a big pain for developers trying to port a GTK 2 application to GTK 3, or maintain one that builds under both versions using a configure switch.

Given that gtk3 isn't backwards-compatible with gtk2, this seems like a pretty serious obstacle to moving ports to gtk3: most people who use them will probably also have some gtk2 ports installed.
gtk2 and gtk3 are designed to be able to be installed independently. The only conflict I see is on $prefix/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache, which would be easy enough to fix by renaming it to gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0 or something. Is there more of a conflict than that?
