Is there any reason to be so obsessed with snow? There are plenty of other "fringe" codecs in the codebase that only one person in the world cared about 10 years ago. Snow is one of the rare wavelet codecs, and as a result is much more valuable than many random basic game flavored codecs. And somehow, no one ever mention those. I don't personally care about game codecs or snow myself (probably nobody does), but I don't support this snow/swscale/whatever-michael-did killing circle jerk. This really feels like some form of constant harassment (I'm not even talking about IRC), and that's not acceptable. Please people, chill out. I understand the frustration when someone doesn't understand something that feel obvious to "everyone" and keep insisting on it, but that doesn't mean you should enter in some form of obsession and vengeance about anything he did/does/will do. ...aaand here I am, back in the "Insane people defending Michael all the time" category.
