No, there was no GSIP, the changes to GeoServer were trivial (at least
compared to the ones in GeoTools) and
did not really add curve geometry support, they just added ways to control
it.

Right, my bad, forgot about it. Just added them right above the feature
type configuration.
I did not modify the layer types because curved geometries do not make for
a new layer type, nor they make
for a new geometry type for what it's worth, because there is no such a
thing as a layer that only has curved
geometries inside, the 99% case is that you have polygons whose rings are
occasionally compound curves, made of a mix
of curved and straight segmetns, and linestrings that occasionally (but now
always) are compound curves
or CircularStrings.
As a result, there can be no notion of a "curved geometry layer", we have
the regular polygon and line ones,
with some eventual "surprises" in their contents.
