I saw you touched this feature in an interview about F10 (in The 
Register I believe), but for this particular case it would need buy-in 
from the application developers (Inkscape here) who need to be convinced 
about the need and from our own desktop developers who are tryng to go 
away from using RPMs for font installation (something where they 
disagree with the fonts SIG). That's opposed to the multimedia codecs 
use case, where it wil probably have instant acceptance.
