No, I had not looked into this before yesterday or thought about it,
and I am not ashamed about it, because the exact purpose of this
thread in the first place was to ask what the potential blockers
were, you brought up one, and that is the kind of answer I expected.

Again, I am not proposing anything. I'm just trying to figure out
a minimum amount of work that needs to be done before a concrete
proposal for a switch can even meaningfully be made (before the thread
largely derailed on the actual details of this not-yet-made proposal,
which was not really the intent, but anyway).

I tend to shrug about size issues because I view them as the least
of my worries compared to PDF / SVG features, which everybody agrees
are critical to get Cairo ready for being a default, and I don't have
high hopes of doing anything about them anyway.
