Giving up the GIMP is a sign of Ubuntu's mainstream maturity (ars technica)

ars technica looks at a decision from the recent Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) to remove the GIMP from the default install. "An important part of the 10.04 roadmap that emerged during UDS is a tentative plan to remove the GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Tool, from the default Ubuntu installation. Although this decision is viewed by some as controversial, the reasoning behind it is valid. The removal of a niche professional graphics editing tool reflects Ubuntu's growing maturity as a mainstream platform for regular users."
