How does this patchset relate to the open-ness of the API ?
you arent saying anything about the plans, goals, intend of this (or
i missed it or fail to associate it with the patchset)

Iam asking as it seems like this is moving libavfilter further away

I most likely misinterpret this as i just see the change in the code
and dont know the whole story but IMO we should move toward a clean and
stable API that everyone can use.
That also implies to allow filters to only use public API.
while this patchset seems to make filters use more private api by
making more needed API private. I think a open API and external
filter support would drive developers and users towards libavfilter
while locking it down would likely do the opposit
