While I realize that there is rarely much difference between rc and final release versions, I'm surprised that Gutsy shipped with the rc version of gimp. I was under the impression that the Ubuntu policy was to ship only stable, released versions of software with each major release. Parts of the new X.Org and KDE 4 were left out of Gutsy for this exact reason. If gimp got specific an exception because the rc was stable as-is, that's fine, but as far as I can see, it would have been better to ship the older, stable version of gimp with Gutsy, not an rc, however stable.
I haven't run into any bugs using the rc, which makes me think that this is the case, but the normal user would undoubtedly prefer an older, known-to-be-stable version to a new, apparently-stable-but-officially-unstable release candidate.
