--- Comment #4 from Eduard Braun <eduard.bra...@gmx.de> ---
You can't argue that we didn't need PDF or PS export because we already had PNG
export. PDF/PS is vector based, PNG is rasterized.

Sure, all these things *work* with PNG, but do you *want* to do them with PNG?
If you've got a vector source at hand, you should use it. It provides much
better quality while maintaining a substantially smaller file size.

A further example (I consider my reasons above still valid) where PDF/PS export
would come in handy is LaTeX. The newer pdftex compiler accepts PDFs natively,
the older latex compiler requires PS/EPS. They're both not able to handle SVG,
latex can't even handle PNG.
