Yes this has been discussed, and I am actually planning to work on this 
after 2.10 release. I have a few ideas myself.

P.S.: this question is more on-topic and better suited than your 
previous email, so thanks for this. :-)

Also I want to note that if we were to be forbidden to work on what *we* 
think is important *for us*, like animation, then this feature may never 
come (well not true: it may come, but for sure not coded by me then). So 
you see how important can be a feature that you may judge not important 
as "animation", even though indirectly, since it could bring you other 
features such as on-canvas brush settings, that you apparently judge 
this time important.

So yes deciding for what feature is or is not important is not just a 
binary 0/1 thing. :p
I see GIMP as a "whole", not feature per feature, and I am happy to see 
other developers also add features even sometimes when we never use 
them.
