Yes. But the main implementation is there already. We just have to 
change the fact that floating selection will now only apply to masks.

It would still be a lot less work than implementing the concept of 
multiple mask per layer with an adapted GUI, etc. And at least we don't 
lose a use case, so (hopefully) no angry people after us! 🙂
