For me the question is less "should end users [be forbidden to] call this?" and more "could end users call this [if they so wish]?" I would plead in favor of "yes, they could", or more precisely, in favor of "kdenlive_renderer and its relation to kdenlive should be documented". But that's because I used my knowledge of that relation in order to circumvent a past bug where the profile (DV PAL or DV PAL WIDE) was badly passed to kdenlive_render, or kdenlive_render badly understood it; anyway, what I did was rename kdenlive_render and create an eponym bash script that analyzed its arguments and fixed them before calling the original kdenlive_render. This flexibility can only be useful if the user is aware of kdenlive_renderer and how it works, which means to me that kdenlive_render should be treated and advertized as a true application, in /usr/bin and with a man page at least. Side note: wasn't there a plan to switch from kdenlive_render to inigo? Amicalement, -- Albert.
