 <h3 id="LayerGroups">When can we see layer groups?</h3>
 
-<p>Sometimes it is nice to place layers in groups. It makes them easier
-to organise when you have lots of them. It also means you can easily
-apply the same effect to lots of layers, without directly affecting
-those layers. Long story short, it makes life easier. This will be much
-easier to program once GEGL has been integrated into GIMP.</p>

+<p>It is clear from the <a

+vision</a> that GIMP eventually needs to support CMYK, but it is
+impossible to say when someone finds the free time and motivation to
+add it. In the meantime it is possible to work with CMYK to some
+extent using plug-ins, such as the <a

 <h3 id="MDI">When will an MDI/nested windows be implemented?</h3>
 
-<p>This is often requested by MS Windows users who lack some of the
-window management features common in other operating systems. An MDI
-interface is largely considered a step backwards by interface designers.
-The core GIMP developers share this sentiment, so don't expect them to
-implement the feature any time soon. However, there are no objections to
-the feature itself. So far only the <a
-href="http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=3892";>Deweirifyer plugin</a>
-attempts any sort of a fix. It seems to be good enough for some, but not
-for others. If you are interested in implementing MDI support <a
-href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7379";>bug 7379</a> is
-the place to start.</p>
+<p>GIMP will not get an MDI, but GIMP 2.8 will feature a single-window
+mode.</p>
