Given the observation that 2.12 <> 2.14 <> 2.16 in that regard, that 
seems likely, yes.  (Observation that I really haven't a clue not 
withstanding. =8^)

Of course, the other possibility, since according to the comment the only 
thing used from glib is g_assert, would be to internalize an 
implementation of that and forget about attempting to keep up with the 
glib API entirely.  But that brings its own baggage in terms of keeping 
up with any security updates and the like, baggage I'm sure you're all 
too familiar with in other contexts.  So at least for now, keeping up 
with the glib API seems the thing to do.
