Hi Scott,

Simply put, so far nobody needs PDN support so much that he/she would
work on this feature.

As far as I can tell, Paint.NET is capable of reading/writing
OpenRaster files (at least via a 3rd party plugin), and OpenRaster is
what free software like GIMP, Krita, MyPaint and others use to
exchange multilayered project data.
