I d'be against the removal of the "vintage" pixmaped brushes.

However, what I think would be a good solution for preserving compatibility would also take these out of the way of users, while keping then available for scripts or anyone who looks for them.

Basically: we have to figure out a way of GIMP not displayin all available resources if no tag filtering is active. By figuring out a way, I mean an interface way.

Then, woud be a matter of tagging the unwanted-by-default backwards compatible brushes with an specifc tag (like "classic"), that would not be shown.

If changes in the current behavior of displaying everything when there are no tag filters are not desirable, the way to achieve this would be simply to tag the resoruces we want showing with "default", and this tag could come pre-selected on the UI.
