I'm advocating this for years (well, maybe one year). The current menu
structure requires the user to remember not only the filter, but also the
language in which it is implemented in, a totally unnecessary detail for
her.

You mean
mkdir Image/Colors; cp quantize Image/Colors?
Hm.. this could vastly simplify i18n of the menu structure, when we only
have to map.

There was that nice idea on #gimp to make a seperate cvs server for plug-in
writers. plug-ins that compile out of the box (and are not too specific)
could be bundled with the main gimp distro, the others could go into another
package.
The main problem is that gimp without plug-ins is not usable to anyone,
not even casual users, so *some* plug-ins must be bundled with the main
dist.
