Well, I have been using the unstable branch for many months now and
not only does it work very well, but it also fixes some problems
present in the stable branch.
Now, unstable does not necessarily mean crashy or buggy. It means
that such things can (and probably will) happen, which is why I won't
be upgrading gimp2 as fast as gimp-dev (gimp-dev is already at at
2.3.19).
However, if anyone experiences problems with that, I'll probably
revert to stable, but I did the move after users reported problems in
the stable branch that I was not experiencing with 2.3.x.

No, I haven't installed 2.3.18 and haven't experienced any problem.
I'm a light user of gimp, and as a user, I just feel safer using the
stable version. Thinking there might be other casual users out there
feeling the same as me, it seems to me that having 2.2.17 in macports
would be helpful.

I just found that the gimp in macports has been upgraded to 2.3.18,

2.2.17 is
the latest stable version, maybe it should be included in macports
until 2.4 is out? We can name the port gimp2.2.
The revision log [1] reads, in part:
"gimp2 now syncs with (stable enough) unstable version"
Do you disagree that gimp 2.3.18 is stable enough? Are you
experiencing problems with it that you did not experience with
2.2.17? I'm Cc'ing the port maintainer since he will be best equipped
to respond to this discussion.
