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?
