The Reaper forum isn't a useful place for development discussion.

Here, or http://lists.lv2plug.in/listinfo.cgi/devel-lv2plug.in

Yeah, right..

Tell you what, if Reaper becomes fully and truly Free Software (by the
FSF definition), I hereby volunteer to implement LV2 support for
them /and/ write good LV2 extensions for any features present in
whatever version of VST they happen to favour. Ball's in their court.

You can't beg a mechanic to fix your buddy's car when he's welded the
hood shut - and plans to run over the mechanic's bike as soon as it
runs ;)

Until then, my bike is Ardour. Race ya.

So responding with sarcasm, "We'll do it my way or not at all"
conditions, and a confrontive attitude qualifies as "the spirit of
collaboration" ? Geez, you guys are really winning me over.

No fear, no-one's going to ask you or DR for help in this matter.
