Well, all that code we now have. Plus some no doubt subtle semantic
incompatibilities. Plus, I'm still a little leary about getting into hot
water with the AT&T legal machine. Yeah, they published it, but right now
VSTa is distinct, technically, from Plan9 top to bottom. I had become
familiar with some concepts due to their papers. But switching over to an
exact clone of an internal interface leaves me with a distinct feeling of
unease.
This is just my own opinion.
