As promised.

They have a roadmap for which version it will be in - a roadmap that's been out there for years. Complaining that you don't have non-destructive adjustment layers for a version that's definitely not supposed to have it is a waste of time.

Is the roadmap influenced by when patents expire?

Edit: that would be a smart reason to plan so far ahead & delay features

No - it's just a list of logical steps. Things they need to implement before they can tackle adjustment layers. The reason it is taking so long is because it's a lot of work.

We are not aware of any patents affecting the development of GIMP.
