Yep, I'm looking forward to 2.8. It looks very promising. I patched my version of 2.6.12, so have it working just the way I want, I was more thinking of other users who have the same problem and don't know how to patch and compile Gimp from source. But I do agree that it's a good idea to call it quits for 2.6, even with a few bugs remaining, so you guys can focus on the latest release.
