It’s technically feasible without really jumping through hoops, and I don’t want to force users to upgrade the OS – or wait for Fedora 41 to be at a level of stability acceptable to them – before they can use the new version.
I am not against Gimp 3 in F40 and older per se. But the issue is that it drives you towards `gimp3` for compatibility reasons. IOW I think that it would be perfectly fine to have Gimp 2 (gimp package) as default in F40 and Gimp 3 (still gimp package) in F41+. Because while they might be substantially different, the change happens with major Fedora version and users should be prepared for such changes.
IOW situation would be much easier if `gimp` package was Gimp 2 up until F40 and Gimp 3 since F41. Optionally, it would also make sense to provide `gimp2` package in F41 for backward compatibility.
