What are the plans (or thoughts and ideas) about how Inkscape should work regarding saving and exporting files in the future? Is there an Inkscape GUI guru (group?) deciding on what the best strategy is? Is there a document describing such a common goal everyone can help work towards?

I think I prefer that only the native formats (SVG, SVGZ, maybe Plain SVG) are in Save/Save As/Save a copy, and the rest is in Export. The reason is that with this setup, we avoid the extremely awkward situation with e.g. an EPS file being "loaded" into Inkscape as well as the "You're about to lose data" warning when you're closing such as file.
