One option to improve the CAD functionality would be to try to use the geometry core of some existing open source CAD project, like LibreCAD. Even if it is possible, it would still be a lot of work, I think.

Well, under the general definition "computer aided design" Inkscape qualifies. But it's not anything like typical CAD programs. And it doesn't have the same goal or intent of typical CAD programs.
Goal is a bit of a cloudy one for an open source project. We have competing goals already. Are we a program for making Ponies or a program for making maps? Maybe one for signing PDF documents?
I've used Inkscape to make physical objects (stickers, pamphlets, cogs, cards), I've also used it to make user interface mockups, website mockups and plenty else which is all CAD.
Inkscape's CAD features for certain kinds of CAD are a bit rusty and not well focused. But that doesn't change how people use the software, or that it's well regarded by certain classes of CAD users.
