Yes, I know I can install it on clusters, but, srsly? Let's put it back (via either extra-software or thirdparty-graphics).

I think you need to make more of an effort to justify this. First of all, we have metrics data. Have you looked at it to see if people are even using GIMP at all? Second, we have a policy for what goes into extra-software and thirdparty. Let's make decisions using the policy, please.

  • Milestone changed from The Distant Future to Fall 2010

Users are actively complaining about GIMP. I'm leaning towards extra-software. I didn't specifically include an image-editor in the list, and I probably should. We can figure out whether that should be F-Spot (which is crap, IMHO) or GIMP.

At release-team, we agreed a photo editor should be part of -extra-software, and many people expect GIMP.

We somehow went from 0.23 to 0.26, so, uh, this should get tested.
