In my opinion APNG is the wrong approach and it is very unfortunate that
the Firefox developers seems to think that APNG supprt is more important
than MNG support.

But GIMP is modular and nothing keeps you or anyone else from writing a
plug-in that adds APNG support to GIMP. Since we aren't going to include
or depend on a patched version of libpng, such a plug-in would have to
be distributed separately.
