Any blockers left? Things look pretty ripe right now imho and it seems like momentum has slowed. Better question... any opposition to moving forward?
the list I still hope to get addressed in 0.48.1:
1) remove "Cairo PNG" as output file format? [1] 2) node tool: restore old behavior (or compromise) for 'Shift+C' [2] 3) osx: extensions on Snow Leopard? (no answer from Micheal so far) [3] 4) backport DXF R13 fixes from trunk [4]
unlikely, but still:
5) no one answered or commented the issue with masks in cairo-based exports... [5]

[1] please test the system clipboard usage on other platforms for possible side-effects if the output extension is not loaded, as mentioned in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.user/13065/focus=35299
Can someone who knows the code for the system clipboard support confirm that a) the "Cairo PNG" output extension is currently used instead of the internal renderer, and b) the quality of clipboard copies pasted as bitmaps in other applications is better if the internal renderer is used (which is the case, at least in my tests, if 'Cairo PNG' doesn't exist)
To me it seems that the code for the clipboard needs to be fixed to use an internal output extension for PNG as fallback, not as first choice.
