[Openicc] Color management in gimp - not really

Two years isn't really "quite soon", is it?

Regarding future GIMP 64-bit support that seems to be for 16-bit per channel 
unsigned -- not floating point.

The "next generation" you mention is GIMP's GEGL effort undertaken 2000 and 
expected within a couple years ever since. I'm unaware of any recently 
announced delivery estimate for GEGL, but could have missed it. If you have 
something official please give the URL.

Thanks,

Robin
