I am sorry but I think I answered that question. Which part of the
answer did you not understand? I've quoted my answer below.

I admit that "temporary condition" probably doesn't make much sense
but that was me using your words. What I was trying to say is that the
current behaviour of installing things into directories versioned
"2.1" is going to be reverted for 2.2. If possible, everything will go
into the same directories that gimp-2.0 uses.

okay, i thought that the job of not actually answering questions was
given to dave neary, but i have been wrong before.

first of all, temporay or temporary  and second of all, you just said
that you did not answer my question here.

my question was about the logic which lead to this condition of this gimp
and its ability to install different versions, side by side.  like the
good old days.
