Well, if the developrs of GEGL decide to do that I'd be fine with it. The
question is wether code from vips could/should be reused. It looks very
extensive (I especially like it's lazy evaluation ;).
And the vips license can't be changed.
So the question is wether the license alone would be a valid reason to
stop using it.

(and if yes, would that be a problem?)
