Having to always perform them as two separate steps is an annoyance, but the possibility of accidentally saving the wrong resolution back to the XCF file is a danger. A question that asked late last year as I had a need to resize and keep working on original. That's when I found the save for web had been reinstated as 2.6.Part of the motivation for the save/export distinction in the first place is later being able to introduce such improvements to export workflows (as well as other neat things; like being able to choose between export presets, multiple named regions - and more). Without a clear conceptual internal seperation - such future improvements will be much harder.
I've been wanting a "scaled export" function myself … In the meanwhile, http://shallowsky.com/blog/gimp/gimp-export-scaled.html works well. It doesn't remember the last scale you used second time around, but it does remember the format so you don't have to change xcf→jpg each time. -- Kevin Brubeck Unhammer GPG: 0x766AC60C
