Still if your print shop insists on CMYK PDFs there is no reason to deny them that output so long as they give you the profile and Cairo gets the feature implemeted (or somebody hacks it as addon to inkscape if they must).
That addon already exists.
Then I don't know what this whole thread is about?
You can get the CMYK output if your print shop demads it, you can check your work using the printer profile when available, it's all well and good.
Quoting the initial message in the forum's thread
"The extension will find the objects that are named with "cmyk" and convert it into CMYK bitmaps. Due to a technical issue, there isn't the possibility to generate PDFs with CMYK + alpha bitmaps. And it runs only on Linux. "
