I don't see your point. Yes, I did install Gimp for my mother. So? The point is that not everybody has a "computer wizard" on hand just to install a graphics program one wants to test. Gimp is some kind of flagship for "free software for the end user", so it would be nice to have it installable by the end user. Anyway, it's my 0.02 euro.
