Apple will unofficially allow it but as soon as much as a single
contributor toots the GNU horn about distribution restrictions and license
conflict they'll immediately pull it from the app store (see VLC app pulled
from app store).

GIMP is 90% GUI code and "porting" that would be a complete rewrite.

Isn't the purpose of GEGL integration attempting to pull as much of the
graphical functions out of GIMP as possible so that GUI could be switched
but the underlying library has the same quality of image manipulation?

If that's not the case what is the point of GEGL?
