IIRC there was some discussion of this idea -> script-fu ending up as an independent plugin rather than one maintained within the GIMP code base. Basically, script-fu ending up in the position that PyGimp has been in -- an optional extra rather than part of the core installation. That's the idea.
There has only been discussion. No concrete plans have been made.
