SVN snapshot that will eventually lead to 0.47 release landed in Rawhide. It took some time to get it compile with GCC 4.4, and even more to get it run. Now that it runs, I'm sure you know that (like everything in Rawhide), it can burn your house, kill your cat and make the whole world implode.
The package has been refactored, it doesn't drag each possible dependency for each extension. However, you may lack some extensions (Inkscape hides most of them if their dependencies are unsatisfied). I yet have to figure out what to do about this; mention it in Release Notes, split the core into a subpackage and let the main package depend on all possible dependencies or install dependencies on-demand via PackageKit (ideas? mail me)
Apart from that, upstream added a whole lot of new features: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes047
Does it suck? Tell me. If 0.47 doesn't come close enough to Fedora 11 release, we can still revert to 0.46 code base.
