[arch-general] Python2-gimp - what functionality was lost?

[David C. Rankin]

All,

  I updated gimp tonight and received:

( 6/19) upgrading gimp         [######################################] 100%
 > The python2 plugin support is disabled, you will need to install this
 > separately if you need it, e.g. the python2-gimp package in the AUR.

Looking at several bugs about python2 and gimp and it seem that gimp is not
removing python2 during gimp 2.10:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1737933

Do we know what functionality was lost when we removed python2 support for it?
I don't use it that often, but do use it fairly thoroughly when I do. From
that standpoint, is there a list of what now isn't part of gimp without
python2? That would help in knowing whether the AUR package is needed.

Seems strange the AUR package was posted and orphaned on 2020-03-18?
