Hi,
Sorry, I only read the description section of Andres link¹ and not to
the bottom with obviously your post.

This is mostly I expected here as answer.
Thanks for your patience

Hello Andre and Eduard.
There have been diffrents efforts on Wikipedia, WMF&co to push SVG
support. All of them look quite dead now and no one has ever directly
talked to our tool provider.

1. Get a WMF developer to work (at least part time) on maintenance
of libRSVG? This way we could at least get all the patches
merged, that were already provided by volunteers over the last
months/years. This would not only benefit Wikimedia projects but
everybody using libRSVG!
2. Evaluate the usage of libRSVG in WMF projects (if there is no
willingness to donate resources). Wikimedia projects might as
well switch to a more maintained library then (as you suggest
yourself).
(Maybe it's even time to stop delivering pre-rendered PNGs and
directly send the SVG file to browsers with sufficient support.)
Both of your suggestions are also on my mind and the reason I'm
posting here. Mostly I'm looking for opinions from insiders to
strengthen our decision base on Wikipedia.
a) There had been efforts. some got quite far but fell asleep over
time¹. (There are more pages about this topic but I don't want to
list them all here)

b) Mediawiki software even has an interface to diffrent SVG renders².
The only real alternative with a short look is ImageMagick.
