Yeah I just made a second email where I came back on this sentence. 
Simply the way we currently handle them in GIMP is like one single 
vector object. A paths layer would mean IMO more like a way to group 
several separate vector objects (which you could stroke, select and move 
individually).

Also they are always above the pixels right now. Ordering a paths under 
a "pixel layer" means nothing currently (though it easily could of 
course). It's just not the same conceptual level in our code.

But yeah I agree so you can erase my previous sentence: these could be 
put on the same level if we put the effort into it.
