I wanted to check if 0.48.2 was listed and I must have clicked on 0.48.1 accidentally. I'm aware that 0.48.1 is waiting for packaging. My apologies for the inconvenience, I just removed the milestone mark.

Back to the topic, I marked this bug as important because it could cause data-loss colaterally. See, if you copy and paste a complex design with a large amount of elements with swatch fills or strokes, inkscape locks until every swatch definition is duplicated. In extreme cases it can take several minutes, and a user unaware of this situation could interpret this as a program lock (it won't respond to esc, and during the lock the window won't be redrawn if it's minimized and restored).
I wouldn't say it's just important for me. At least I know the situation and I can avoid it.
