Once we get to non-destructive editing using GEGL ops, I could
imagine an EXIF field listing a set of ops used for processing.
Imagine being able to save as JPEG yet still be able to load
back into GIMP and undo the last few ops. Yes, there would be some loss
of quality because of lossy compression, and it's certainly not a
substitute for saving as XCF, but I can imagine cases where it
might be useful anyway.
