Comment (by mascguy):
Well, we're certainly all passionate... and that's not a bad thing.
As for my proposal, one of the goals was to get past the ticket gridlock
we're currently in... and finally allow libjpeg-turbo to simply be
installed/used. Eliminating the conflict would finally allow that... eight
years later.
Then there's the issue with API/ABI compatibility, regression testing of
changed ports, etc: If we start transparently switching which library is
used, without thorough testing of **''every single port''**... isn't that
a potential nightmare?
