These technologies I have mentioned, are mainly being developed by historical contributors to Gnome, and with Gtk/Gnome in mind (all of them use glib for example or apply to the gnome coding style), others, such as webkit can use other libraries like gnome-keyring which is clearly a gnome library and finally there are libraries like gstreamer or telepathy which actually are part of the core libraries of Gnome. Also, being core technologies, is difficult for them to depend on libraries which are supposed to be in upper levels.
