I think we should start to look how to deprecate EPS support in LO. Best would
be to try to convert EPS graphic to PDF for existing LO documents, but
otherwise remove EPS graphic as an input filter for use in LO documents. Export
can still be there (for printing).  

EPS is not really even a graphic format but a Turing complete language, which
had some sense in the past to have that, but nobody writes complex vector
graphic as a program by hand today. So having a super complex language to
interpret as a input instead of declarative set of limited instructions just
doesn't make sense.

As long as we have it in LO, the user will use it. Now that LO 7.0 is getting
near, it is a great opportunity to drop it.
