 ## What's up with GIMP and CMYK anyway?
 
 Historically, it was complicated to implement CMYK support in GIMP as
 the program used to be hardwired to use sRGB color space for pretty much
 everything. Supporting any RGB color space has been work in progress for
-many years, and print was not facilitated as a main workflow provided by
-our project for decades.

 Since late 2000s, we've been considering a late binding workflow for CMYK,
 i.e. where you work in RGB, softproof in CMYK and then export to CMYK. Peter
