However, remember this is GEGL being discussed here. *GIMP* might well provide a way to back-propagate the result of an Op in the graph, which should take care of this okay.
By back-propagate i mean, you draw on a layer, it get quantized before display -- and you can propagate that change back to the original layer.
It seems a highly desireable option to me, even for non-quantized images.
(nor is GEGL in any way suited to implement back-propagation of the sort you described. It goes against its data model; Whereas this is suitable for GIMP to implement.)

I'm not sure I can see what you're getting at, but are you suggesting
that I use a seperate layer for each color? That would make any kind
of editing extremely painful.
