Nothing will just work when GEGL is used. But you are right that it will
be a lot easier as sharing of pixel data between layers and masks will
be trivial as soon as everything is a graph.

It does also seem that this feature will benefit from layer groups (or
even require them). But so far the proposal is by no means specific
enough to comment on it.

Isn't this a feature that is on the [unwritten] "won't be implemented
because it will Just Work if we ever get GEGL integrated with GIMP"
list?

Hi,

It won't happen unless someone puts in the work. GIMP development is
entirely voluntary, so if you want this,
submit a patch to make the necessary changes. Otherwise, you leave it
to chance whether this ever gets implemented. Posting feature requests
here tends to annoy the developers. It is a good place to discuss the
details of a feature you'd like to implement, though.
Only saying 'we need this' will not encourage anyone to work on
implementing it; volunteer coders code because it's fun or personally
rewarding, not because something is wanted by someone else that they
do not know.
