You are entitled to your opinion, however you single handledly made a
change to every plugin, and yet did not mention a word about it on the
mailing list. It would have been nice to have discussed it first. If it
fixes an issue then perhaps there would have been alternate / better ways
to do it. Even if not it would have been a courtesy to mention it.

I noticed that you added 3 frame inputs to each plugin, even those which
are simple filter effects. I fail to see the reason for this.

Now you defend your actions by questioning my coding abilities ? Very nice.

I shouldn't need to remind you but I was active in developing the original
frei0r spec, in addition to contributing to bug testing, creating automated
testing tools, publicising and providing feedback. However that is
irrelevant to the current discussion and for a second time you defend your
actions with a personal attack.
