There are also a lot of permutations. Every week or so a new device added, around a dozen formats supported.

I have 4 or more formats for a lot of books, 8 if you count the original formats such as original_epub as I have several readers, tablets and my mothers as well to consider. Many have more formats.

People often complain about metadata update speed already. It would be slower if all formats were updated on the fly.

Still calibre evolves and as theducks said, if you submit a patch and it works well it will likely be incorporated.

PS AFAIK PDF support is pretty low priority at present so any outside support is probably doubly welcomed.
