iam against adding planar formats which are identical to existing ones
except that the planes are ordered differently, planes should always
be ordered identically, its a matter of exchanging pointers

Y8 is the same as Y800 and IYUV is the same as I420 unless i mixed some
names

AFAIK nothing

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
