Just as my personal conclusion of that thread:
We do not lose anything if we accept either the proposal by Tim or Fons or
something in between. Both proposals are binary compatible with the
current standard. Plugin-writers and host-developers would still have the
choice to use the extension or to ignore it and use e.g. the RDF extension
instead. And I doubt that new plugin writer get scared by some slightly
extended ladspa.h, at least as long as it keeps to be as well-documented
as it is now. I will now shut up and hope that an extension will be agreed
upon. Once Tom (and hopefully others) follow the new standard, I will
update AMS. And keep in mind: Extending LADSPA does not mean that all
plugins need to be modified. It's only that cases like e.g. the reverb
presets can be fixed in a clean way.
