Thanks Marc,

I'd like to answer these here for now.

Some errors with specific extensions, a lot of testing done and we're
confident that much of the known issues are reported and awaiting
fixes.

Proper translatability is scheduled for 1.1. The stop gap of continuing
to use the inkscape pot file will remain for 1.0 and Patrick has some
good inx additions which will go in for this version, but will be used
fully going forwards.

Patrick can fill in this in more details.

Uniconvertor is problematic. It's not packaged for distributions, it
doesn't open ai files like it's supposed to and it's got version
problems. I'm open to letting it go.

But that's a personal preference. It's not in the core extensions
repository any more, so it's now outside of the supported core, but
it's up to packagers how much effort they want to put into an
unsupported module. The code still works (I made sure we had the
depricated code recently) but beyond that, I won't be upgrading it to
the 1.0 API or packaging it or it's upstream.
