Hi,

The new rendering architecture based on a streamlined intermediate
format and painters has been in place for more than a year now and
hasn’t caused any big issue.

New features are being added to the painters
(PDFDocumentHandler/PDFPainter, PSDocumentHandler/PSPainter, etc.) and
usually not backported to the renderers (PDFRenderer, PSRenderer, etc.).
Also, the old renderers get in the way when changes and refactorings
must be made to the libraries.

Therefore, I propose to drop support for the old renderers and remove
them from version control.

Does anyone have any objection to that?

Thanks,
Vincent
