No, the situation is not similar.  We have a longstanding discussion about  
PDF quality and the reasons of which you are aware and which you documented  
in the bug tracker after we discussed it again in the mailing list.  It was  
reported and discussed frequently.

And we are talking here about basic rendering of Ghostscript.  Its core  
area of competency, its most basic operations.  The project is more than 20  
years old and does not get even the most basic operations right according  
to specifications older than that, even in black&white and without  
antialiasing.  And it is solely responsible for printing and PDF handling  
in GNU/Linux systems.

I don't see that we can really deal with that sensibly except by shutting  
ps2pdf out of our loop and writing PDF ourselves.  That's at least one  
level of inconsistency removed from the pipelines.
