I read this on the GIMP-Users mailing list but as their archive is broken now, here’s the scoop via gnomedesktop.org (and thanks to Feedster for finding it for me!)
The next major release will be 2.0, not 1.4. Unfortunately this means that some features slated for a 2.0 release won’t make it until later. All you print shops will have to wait a bit longer for CMYK support.
Look what I found today!
