Hi,
Recently a Perl extension called "Cut marks" was added to SVN. I must admit I didn't have very good feelings about this, because Windows users who are majority of our user base or at least very close to it will have an extra step of installing ActivePerl to be able to use it. IMO, having several programming languages supported is fine as long as extensions work everywhere out of box. We already have functionality available on one platform and not available on the other and it probably wouldn't be wise pushing this even further.
And now here comes a similar extension written in Python: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/301776
So what do we do?
