Thanks for pointing that out, it makes sense. I believe gimp_2_8 is
the preferred variant, although as you say, there are plenty of
examples without any underscores.

I don't use GIMP regularly myself so I'm inclined to let the 2.8
version sit there for a while before making it the default, and I'd
also keep 2.6 available at least until the plugins have been updated.
Does the 2.6 version also work with the new gegl and babl?

I'm not exactly sure of the workflow we'll be using with github, but I
guess you can submit pull requests there and we can continue the
discussion there as comments on the pull request (if we need to), and
then someone in the NixOS org can accept that pull request. I am quite
interested to see how that works out. Perhaps you have some advice
from your experience with the plone collective -> github migration ..
but that's another topic.

Cheers,
Cillian
