I doubt thats going to happen. You can easily maintain your own patch set yourself however. Its been done before. Not a complete fork but a patch set distributed separately. GIMP Painter was such a patch set. So far some of it has been integrated to mainstream, some of it is still separate. -- --Alexia _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
