In milestones 15 and 16, which seem to be focussed on mobile, multipage is listed.
Does that date from when the SVG WG was trying to use the same page construct for actual printed pages and also for animation scenes? (We no longer do this). SVG Tiny 1.2 does not have multipage.
No, it's just an oft-requested feature, and coincidental that it got listed there.
Note that while our milestones "declare" a focus, in reality much of Inkscape development is parallel, and strongly driven by the developer interest. So we may say that Foo feature is scheduled for 0.49, but if no one is interested in working on it, it might get pushed back to ever later releases (which is what has happened with both animation and multipage.) On the other hand, other features which are of interest, often get done earlier.
So, it's best to think of the Roadmap not as a work plan, but more of a weather forecast.
