I don't think we ever wanted to do a rewrite-from-scratch. What we did since GIMP-1.2 was a rewrite of the user interface and a major overhaul of the application core. The code is now in a state where it makes sense to think about changing the basics but keeping most of the infrastructure on top it intact. Whatever version number the next release would get can only be told when it is ready. We will probably make up a more detailed plan for the future at the developers conference this summer. This is not a closed event; whoever feels interested in GIMP development or simply wants to meet developers and other GIMP users is welcome to join us.
