With my UX hat on, I wouldn't break it on load, it's OK enough when
there is a possibility to do so.  When not broken, I suspect the move /
resize etc. behaves more naturally (moves / resizes the entire picture).

I think the breaking (ie. loading the svg in a way it can be editable)
was the biggest concern blocking this...

So I guess if the fidelity (in the sense of shapes / gradients etc.) of
a svg loaded via svgio and broken into shapes is similar / same (or even
better) than the fidelity of svg loaded via filter/source/svg, I'd vote
for removing filter/source/svg ;-)  Can you please take this topic to
the ESC?

Thank you,
