I interpret Quim's remarks as the former.

There's no reason a different menuing system could not be developed for the GIMP engine... one that is tablet-friendly (indeed, tablet-oriented). I would envision an extremely context-sensitive approach using popups, flyouts, ribbons and/or similar approaches assuming they are supported by Hildon (I don't have expertise there).
