I agree with Jonas that it would be a considerable loss not to be able 
to import vector graphics. I don't concur with Jean's argument that one 
can replace them by using markup commands: One obvious use case for 
proper vector import would be including a publisher's logo, for instance.

That being said: My uneducated guess would be that with Cairo etc., it 
might be more natural/easy to import vector graphics in SVG format than 
in EPS?
