I believe Red Hat are fully aware :-)

... as they agreed to dropping gtk2 build support - that BZ has the 
statement (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1278282#c3):

"Red Hat can go along with the gtk3 only Firefox when it comes in next 
ESR cycle (FF59)."

However, I would also like to know how they plan to support FF60 in el6 ...
