Yes, but even Ubuntu is still shipping 2.6.1 with their latest stable
version (8.10) and shipping 2.4.x with the long-term-support version
(8.04).

Personally, I compile GEGL, BABL, and GIMP and install them in /opt so
I can use the latest version of GIMP - once you go through it once or
twice it's pretty easy - YMMV.
