that for what  doesn't fit in the GIMP product vision 

But why wait to eliminate a plugin that doesn't fit in ANY product vision?


this case is crystal clear:
nobody use that plugin ,a plugin that quoting his tooltip produce ""Special effects that nobody understands" :-), 

This plugin   replace all the original pixel of your photo with  a abstract thingy, a "special effects", hard to define and unpredictable , ...but that always look as crap (


Why carry its code in gimp 2.8 , just delete the "van-gogh-lib.c file from the code (BTW is in gimp/plug-ins/common ) would took less developer time then a further debates

The never used van gogh filter is in gimp from 1996 and survived all debates and clean up  till now
