I don't think we need to go over the discussion that was held before on this topic and re-iterate all the pro and cons. I do support moving to multiple native formats, but simply lack the time to make more progress than I am making at the moment. If this is something you really want, please have a look at the pyzim-next branch and start coding a native pandoc parser in that framework. Otherwise please be patient till I have time to get around that part of the code.
