I was assuming that there were enough people still using the GTK+ UI on Windows to warrant keeping it in 2.6. If that's not the case I have no objections to removing it. The macOS installer only ships with one UI and we switched from GTK+ in 1.12 to Qt in 2.0. If you still use the GTK+ UI, now is probably a good time to speak up. :)
BTW, Fedora at least is working on dropping their wireshark-gtk package:
