Hi fellow inkscapers,

I was amazed to read that inkscape already has Mesh Gradients (since
version 0.92) just like Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator got this exact same
feature in the version 8 (released in 1998). 20 years ago.

But it seems that Mesh Gradients will be removed from the SVG 2.0
specification. My question is WHY?

That made me really sad and wondering: isn't there anything we can do to
prevent that from happening? Can we make a petition or talk to
Mozilla/Chrome/Opera/Vivaldi browser so they can implement this and this
feature, as soon as it gets traction, to be kept in the 2.0 spec of SVG
technology?

Ideas anyone? Is this too unrealistic or we can do something about it?

I remember google chrome almost removed SMIL feature from Google Chrome but
then the feature got traction and started being used more and more... so
they kept it.
