I understand that you want LV2 to be a standard and only a standard, and thus
only show its specification on http://lv2plug.in. You seem to consider that
serd, sord and lilv are helper libraries and only one route amongst other
possible routes to host LV2 plugins. This is consistent in /principle/, but do
you not something feel like such "modularity" can be confusing, when compared to
existing major plugin technologies which provide everything as an SDK? Do you
not feel like a complete LV2 SDK would be more developer friendly, in /practice/?
