Please stop playing stupid. What related stuff?
We are talking about *gimp* here, a bitmap graphics *program*,
not a critical lib, not even _a_ lib, there is only just a few
plugins for it.

poldek:/all-avail> what-requires libgimp*-2.0.so.0()(64bit)
11 package(s) found:
gimp-2.6.12-3.x86_64
gimp-aa-2.6.12-3.x86_64
gimp-libs-2.6.12-3.x86_64
gimp-plugin-dds-2.0.7-1.x86_64

gimp-svg-2.6.12-3.x86_64
sane-frontends-1.0.14-1.x86_64
xsane-0.998-5.x86_64

I don't see a problem with 2.8rc1 on HEAD, especially when gimp.org
officially stated EOL on 2.6 line.
