When gimp-2.2 is ready it will happily replace gimp-2.0 and plug-ins compiled for gimp-2.0 will continue to work. That's the reason that gimp-2.1 cannot be installed into the same prefix as gimp-2.0. It's supposed to replace it. Currently there's the temporary condition that gimp-2.1 installs quite some things into directories versioned as 2.1. This is supposed to be changed back to 2.0 when gimp-2.2 is ready.
