Somewhere, all image/video access in Linux goes through a common piece of
code: that is called the system. The system need to be good: the API must be
agreeable enough for developers, but there must be enough room for the user
to configure and override things.

For example, as a X11 user, I would hate that an application I want to use
would be SVGAlib only. That thought scares me much more than the thought
that everything should go through SDL.


I fear this thread is in way degenerating into the microkernel vs.
monolithic kernel troll. It may be wiser to stop...
