Even apart from the fact that it is 50 to 80% slower than agg, I'd say there's less than 5% on the features ready for it to be feature-equal with today's agg and cairo backend (basically only flat polygons and simple lines are implemented, all the rest (labelling, symbology etc) is not touched. Not waiting on it for 8.2 is a no-brainer.
