While I could package gimp/gegl/babl from git, this is far from stable ATM, so I won't replace the gimp-2.6 packages in Fedora with it. Taken together, this means I can't package unstable gimp as a Fedora package because this needs to be installable side-by-side with the stable version, meaning it needs to go into /opt or /usr/local which is a no-no from an FHS point of view (making it uneligible as a Fedora package). At some point (time permitting), I'll probably make a (non-FHS-compliant) package, but this will just be an inofficial one which I'll e.g. put on fedorapeople.
