I think the generally feeling is that, if glib provides the same
functionality as the purple_signal/purple_value API, then we should
totally kill off the purple_signal/purple_value stuff and use glib.
It's silly for us to maintain our own version of these--it doesn't
gain us anything and makes more work for us.  There is also something
to be said for using a common API that new developers might already be
familiar with.
