You mean that library which is disabled by default? We tell people to use
the actual stuff we support rather than the stuff we've let in "for
convenience", like we've done for the past 5 bloody years.

So what if it is?
I'm not interested if it take 1 month, 6 months, a year, 2 years, that crap
is getting out of our code. If you ask me it should never have been merged.
I'll write a shim just to keep people like you happy.

And who's going to maintain it once their project dies? We? We already have
a better resampling library in our code. We won't need it.
As I said before I'll write a fucking API shim when I submit the patches to
kill that thing. Even if its half working it'll still work just about as
well as that thing's idea of "resampling".



Anyway I'm pushing this patch in a few days unless someone objects validly.
