Most internal processing is now done at floating point precision, and images can be kept around at 16-bit and 32-bit integer and floating point precisions.

Ooop, you're right, I wasn't thinking clearly. It would make it impossible to include gimp in the default install, but of course, now I remember, gimp, like most useful software, was moved off the default iso a while ago. So as you say it probably doesn't make any difference.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Future of Python v2 scripts
While it is is feasible to have Python3 as the system default install, it is not practical to remove Python2 from the system. Even if it is not installed by default (which I doubt very much) it will be reachable via the default packaging system (and therefore available as a GIMP dependency). Anyway, even if we switched today to Python3 for GIMP, it would only be available as of GIMP 2.10 - so GIMP 2.8 would still use Python2 scripts.

Are there any plans to support V3 in Gimp, I think they were talking about this, but it was not ready in time. 15.10 still has python2 as the default. They are now talking about making the change in 16.04 instead, but of course who knows if it will actually happen. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Python You're absolutely correct that Gimp should be ready for this.
