GIMP *final* release for Gutsy?

[Evan]

While I realize that there is rarely much difference between rc and final
release versions, I'm surprised that Gutsy shipped with the rc version of
gimp. I was under the impression that the Ubuntu policy was to ship only
stable, released versions of software with each major release. Parts of the
new X.Org and KDE 4 were left out of Gutsy for this exact reason. If gimp
got specific an exception because the rc was stable as-is, that's fine, but
as far as I can see, it would have been better to ship the older, stable
version of gimp with Gutsy, not an rc, however stable.

I haven't run into any bugs using the rc, which makes me think that this is
the case, but the normal user would undoubtedly prefer an older,
known-to-be-stable version to a new,
apparently-stable-but-officially-unstable release candidate.
