Only GIMP 3 release left, to finally ditch GTK 2[1] and Python 2[2].

Oh, so is GTK 2 the reason why we still have Python 2 as the default `python` command on Debian?

I don't think it's the sole reason, but all these are changing :)

I don't think so, in Fedora already python == python3. I guess it's a matter of breaking & fixing many packages.

No, those dependencies are unrelated but both inkscaoe and gimp switched to gtk3 and python3 on a major release cycle.
