The 2D effort is a complete waste of time. If they plan to include font support it will be a total nightmare. Anyone that needs graphics rendering can choose from a mature range of libraries that best suits their needs. There is zero need for something like that in the standard lib.
They should learn from the example of Python where first class libraries are intentionally left out of the standard lib so that they don't fossilize.
That being said. I'd like to see libAgg get more support as it's somewhat drifting in the wind and it has a nicely designed composable rendering pipeline that aligns well with C++ principles.
