I simply don't see why. This is tracker philosophy. MIDI sequencers
never have a clue about what synths are actually doing, but it all
works just fine anyway. (Better than traditional trackers ever could,
for most things, I'd say.)

Either you need to NEVER re-use a VVID, or you need to
tell the
host when an ended VVID is actually re-usable. Or you need to
have voice-ids allocated by the plugin, and NOT the host, which
I like more.
Having the plugins allocate them is a pain, its much easier if
the host aloocates them, and just does so from a sufficiently
large pool, if you have 2^32 host VVIDs per instrument you can
just round robin them.
