--- Comment #49 from Michael Meeks <[email protected]> ---
This bug is too huge, tangled and un-readable for any developer to get to the
end of. To save time and avoid repeated waste I've split it into:

bug#67464 - request for built-in EPS rendering (a long term enhancement)
bug#67465 - try harder to find pstoedit on Macs

One of these is tractable.

Because one very long, overly complicated multi-comment bug with multiple
issues in it is a disaster: it wastes programmers time to read, and then they
realise that there will never be a clean fix even of the easy bit because
somehow someone put a man-year task next to a 10 man minute task in the same
bug - so ...

Long, unclear, confused, unreadable bugs waste very significant time trying to
unwind them. I've split it into two clear, precise bugs that can be read
quickly and (I hope) gives a developer a reasonable incentive to fix one of
them: the trivial bit - and the satisfaction of at least closing a bounded
problem :-)

HTH.
