Hi folks,

just want to send some heads up info about the GIMP package in the RHEL-9
release.

As some of you might notice, the GIMP package is missing in RHEL-9. The
reason for this is it's requirement of Python 2, which isn't supported in
RHEL-9 any more.

During the RHEL-9 prep phase, I gave the information that GIMP authors are
working on a new GIMP 3 release, which is going to use Python 3 and once
the GIMP 3 is released, the GIMP package will appear in RHEL-9 again.

Carrying this in mind I would like to ask you - *don't* create a gimp
branch for EPEL9 as it would create additional problems later once the GIMP
3 is available.

Thank you for your understanding and wish you all the best in 2022.

Best regards
