Windows XP - Service Pack?

I noticed the 2.6.11 says SP2 is required for Windows XP. I know 2.6.6 works fine without a Service Pack. Does 2.6.11 really require SP2? If so, is 2.6.7 the first version to require it?

I've had the SP2 requirement in the installer for a long time (since GIMP 2.6.2 according to my changelog). GIMP would probably work on XP without any service packs, however I was getting too many weird error reports (which weren't reproducible with SP2 and SP3) that I decided to not bother with anything older (Microsoft also dropped support for XP without SP2 a while ago, and the service packs are a free upgrade, so I see no reason to waste my time with unsupported Windows versions).
