  Is it really that unnatural? Is it really very noticeable? We haven't received any bug reports about that. In fact people praised the new blur effect. This issue was "noticed" only after a post on reddit. Though I'd like to point out that the rabbit hole goes much deeper. For example, Firefox/Google Chrome/Gwenview/Eye of GNOME/etc don't properly scale down images. Does it make the scaled down images look really unnatural? No.
  
  Yes, that's not good to blur textures without converting colors to the linear color space, but please don't exaggerate the whole situation. Let's think rationally.

  That's not true.

  Also, I'd like to point out that some of my comments above are no longer actual because Fredrik proposed more simpler solution. :-)
