Whither CMYK?

About once a year I ask about a capability to output a file from Gimp in pdf format and the CMYK color model. In addition it would be nice if this output was in the PDF X/1-a:2001 format, to satisfy certain fussy printers. I know there are external converters like ImageMagick. It would however be nice if after all these years Gimp catered to the needs of the printing industry.

GIMP only got PDF exporting in upcoming v2.8. This exporter uses Cairo. Cairo doesn't support CMYk and spot colors. Therefore requesting CMYK PDF exporting will start making sense only after Cairo gets support for CMYK

As software GIMP isn't defined by its developers through competition against any other software. Hence GIMP dosn't aim to compete against anything else, it aims to suit the needs of professionals.

Understood. Professionals in the world of the printed word need CMYK.
