 Are you good at scripting?  Because the sorry state of affairs will 
persist until it is well documented, for every common tool on every 
common platform, for every release.  And then it will persist some 
more, but at least many more people will know what _needs fixing_.

 By well documented, I mean an encoder/format matrix with 3-4 colours, 
ideally generated and published by a robot at regular intervals.
