As I recall, the SIOD that's part of gimp is not a "stock" version of SIOD, as there were various bugs detected and fixed in SIOD in the 0.99.x and 1.2.x gimp releases. There *may* be fixes in the gimp's custom SIOD that never got back into the mainline SIOD. That means that using a newer SIOD *might* cause some regressions. I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from making the change, I'm just trying to give whoever does it a "heads up" that they may want to see if they can detect if there are any fixes that should be forward-ported into the new SIOD gimp swallows.
