I'm surprised since jpeg2k is a wavelet codec using a the same 9/7 we
have there...

Not that easy since the spec changed a bit, but having a decoder and an
encoder (schro) should be feasible.

To summarize, snow can be removed once everything good in it had been
salvaged for more wanted formats.

Making me spending time discussing over it would just force me to spend
more time on it and ending up touching that code, thus perpetuating snow.

On the merits of the codec itself, it might be even worth promoting, but
we are quite lacking on evangelism and I would rather push NUT since it
is way more useful.
