Hi folks,

Do we really think it's a good idea to add yet another implementation of 
filters?

We already have generic, NEON-optimized and WTF::ParallelJobs (which includes 
generic, OpenMP and libdispatch backends) implementations of this code, and now 
we're adding OpenCL too.

On the WebKit Project Goals page <http://www.webkit.org/projects/goals.html>, 
it states that:

"WebKit is an engineering project not a science project. For new features to be 
adopted into WebKit, we strongly prefer for the technology or at least the use 
case for it to be proven."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we don't see much use of these features on the 
web. I understand that there's a bit of a chicken/egg problem where a feature 
won't be interesting to content creators until it performs well enough, but it 
seems like we could at least decide on a single path forward instead of 
repeatedly forking the code.
