Hi pippin, you are answering in detail 'how we will get "there"' but Elle (as I see it) is asking more 'do you agree that we want to go "there"'. This leaves me unsure if you are implicitly agreeing, if you disagree and have a different "there" in mind, or if you think it is too early to decide this. "There" being the goal that *eventually* in GEGL 'For RGB editing operations, use UserRGB primaries *unless* there's a really, really good reason why only sRGB primaries will work.' -- Jon Nordby - www.jonnor.com _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
