Effort-wise it is not a problem to add more layer modes, but I have for a long time felt that layer modes is just a primitive and naive way to achieve some kind of non-destructiveness. Assuming the introduction of GEGL will be severely crippled if done within the limits of GIMP 2.x backwards compatibility and that we decide to go for GIMP 3.x, wouldn't it be interesting to try to get rid of the layer mode concept as it is now and instead couple it more with the rest of the non-destructiveness GEGL will provide? Or are people too used to the concept of layer modes that it would be suicide to make them less prominent?
