 This is roughly how the core development team plans GIMP evolution. Note
 that this does not mean we are not interested in contributions in other
 areas. Since GIMP is developed as a community, it mostly means that
-current developers consider these features their priority. All it takes
-to revise priority is for anyone with different priorities to
-contribute.

-Oppositely if none care about working on a feature, it won't happen and
-can't be considered a priority. It's as simple as this.
+all it takes to revise priority is for anyone to contribute.
 
 The bottom line is that GIMP is what we all make of it. There is no
-single company or entity heading the software (which would have good
-sides, such as more focus yet bad side as well, such as code admission
-rules based on business rather than on merit, usually).

 This branch is considered pretty stable and our focus really shifted on
 GIMP 3.0. It is still possible that new features appear in further 2.10
 releases, yet expectation is low.

 ## Future
 
 Many of these features can be implemented in a branch and merged into the main development branch as we go, 
especially since we aim to loosen up the "no new features in stable releases" policy. Please talk to us, if 
you want to work on any of those.
