So: it seems we want to continue to support GTK3 ?
Yes, I think so. At least RHEL 6 needs to continue to use the Gtk+ GUI (since its Qt isn't new enough). (Though I still stick with Gtk2.)
Will RHEL 6 even bother to pick up 2.0? Or do you mean "people who want to build Wireshark 2.0 themselves on RHEL 6, without having to build and install Qt themselves as well, will need to continue to use the GTK+ UI"?
No, RHEL won't upgrade. But those who compile-their-own (because they
want something newer than 1.8) will have to use the Gtk+ GUI. (I roll
my own--including some internal dissectors--and push it out to a few
hundred machines via an (internal) yum repository.)
Gerald did mention that we'd only need to get rid of one thing to make
the Qt GUI compatible with RHEL 6:

But that seems unlikely.
