** Description changed:

+ Feature Freeze Justification
+ ============================
+ gimp's last new stable series, 2.8, was released 6 years ago. The new series has years of work porting gimp to use gegl more completely, an integrated crash report tool, and many more improvements.
+ 
+ The Gimp development team is small enough that I do not expect there to
+ be much support at all for gimp 2.8 any more.
+ 
+ Future
+ ======
+ If the final gimp 2.10 is not released before Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is, then we should do an SRU to update it then.
+ 
+ The Gimp developers have announced that they will add features to future
+ 2.10 releases so that users won't have to wait several years like this
+ again.
+ 
+ Gimp 3.0 will switch to gtk3 (or gtk4).
