Yes it is bikeshedding.
Just a reminder, from previous comments about who should or shouldn't use free software, how open source works, to less than subtle political statements about the US, that stuff really isn't appropriate for this list. There are plenty of other discussion groups online to meet your needs if that's what you want to talk about.
We embrace the wide audience that Inkscape has found and encourage people to use it if it works for them. If it's found to be lacking in some way, the bug tracker is probably a better place to make requests or report issues.
Cheers, Josh

We've looked into this several times, and unfortunately raw gdk_pixbuf_save use by itself probably won't make many end users happy. One of the possible results is that people don't get the quality of JPEG that they need (too large filesize, too blocky, etc.) and tell people 'Inkscape sucks, don't use it'.
Which just goes to prove: No good deed goes unpunished!
LOL, this whole thing is kind of bikeshedding anyway. We're using more electronic ink discussing one arcane export, that can be easily handled with a known good converter, than discussing an entire, SVG compliant vector graphics program.
