Am I reading clearly ? :

From CYMK to RGB: Work in any color space

looking at the release notes I think what has been done is add current 'cmyk features' that are in PRO to P&G... so no cmyk colour space in the program, just the ability to assign values...

.....

... in the November 2017 update we've migrated some of the professional capabilities of Designer Pro to Photo & Graphic Designer

this is something xara said they would seriously consider, and it is good that they have made a start for those who want the drawing without the web.....

Oh, I imagined things when I read "work" and "color space" in the "Work in any color space".
You're probably right.

One can always hope...

depends what you mean by work in any colour space - in designer pro you just assisgn values so you can have one object RGB and another CMYK next to each other in the same document at the same time... - that is not what I call working in a colour space....

Does anyone intend to use this program?
Would it be wise for me to use it?

I really hope so. Lack of this rules XGD pro for any serious print work or working with other Adobe based designers. It is also why I can use it less and less nowadays :-(

I do print work in XDP all the time. Both in XDP output to PDF as well as making assets for layout applications.

While it would be nice to have an accurate display, and I do want Xara/Magix to roll in LCMS or another color management module, I still get accurate color out.

As for working with Adobe-centric designers? I approach that like I do other software collaboration projects. Someone has to use what the other designers are using at some point before the exchange. So while I'll draw in XDP when working with someone who is using AI, for instance, at some point I will bring the design into AI and save a version. Sometimes I need to stop before finished and finish off in AI--like for drop shadows or other AI effects. Most of the time it is fine as is and AI becomes a fancy file converter.

Of course, one could always encourage them to buy XDP...
