Thanks for the video and replies to my earlier post to the mailing list. It sort of makes sense now to move to 1.0, if Inkscape "0.93.x" is deemed feature complete for moving to 1.0 and all we need is fixing bugs/stability issues then it must of course be versioned as that (1.0~alpha).

The only question left to answer; Is Inkscape feature complete for 1.0? As developers most of us are on the same page but I wonder what users expects. A couple of years back the issue of CMYK for printing came up [1, 2], not sure if that has been solved or is expected to be solved before 1.0. I personally have no contacts in the printing industry so have no clue. What about SVG compliance? Does Inkscape support enough SVG1/2 features to call it v1.0?

In the end when writing this email I feel, using wording from Alex's earlier email, the above mentioned features are only "highly desirable" not "release critical".
