Hi Rüdiger, being late to the thread, and being the one who implicitly initiated this ...
> Why would you copy additional stuff into binfilter? Because binfilter has a code base which lives several years in the past, whilst the current code base moves forward constantly. At some point, you simply can't stretch this any further. My recent problem was some changes in basic (not basctl), which let the build break in binfilter. There was no reasonable way (I could see) how to adapt this in binfilter: I would have needed to back-port large parts of SFX to BF_SFX (plus probably more), just to be able to use the new basic API. That's certainly nothing I would do, as it bears a completely unknown risk of breakage. We once decided to freeze binfilter, IMO we cannot reasonably expect that it will always be possible to adjust this stone-aged code to the latest and greatest code which has undergone multiple years of additional development.
