I have read this message in GIMP lists: http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gimp-developer/2010-November/025817.html I think that You are wrong. Did You asked to all GIMP users before saying that something is not useful and nobody uses it? I haven't been asked. Please, don't say that nobody uses it, because You don't know it. Also, It could be filters (scripts) that uses this filter, and They would be broken. I have a better idea: If You don't like something, don't use it. I prefer the proposed idea of packages of filters (artistic, photo, 3D & textures, pixelart...). It would be much better that just removing things. Also, I will make a backup copy of all filters, and I will reinstall them if some of them is removed in the next release. Also, I will install GIMP 2.8 and GIMP 3 simultaneously, because GIMP 2.8 has some functions that I need (and I use) that would be removed in GIMP 3 (like indexed colour model).
