I don't understand why you would want to piggyback on this story to say this. are people just itching for reasons to dive into show & tell or to wax poetic about how they have solved the problem for years? I really don't understand people at all, because I don't understand why people do this. and I'm sure I've done it, too.

There is hype for FEAT. People who have achieved similar FEAT perk up their heads but say nothing. Hype for FEAT is beyond sensibility. People with similar FEAT are bristled by this and wish that their projects received even a fraction of FEAT's hype. I think it's normal.

    ...in this case, multi-threading. In other cases; AI workflows that others commercialize, a new type system in a language that already exists in another, a new sampling algorithm that has already existed by another name for decades, a permaculture innovation that farmers have been using for aeons, the list goes on...

      just say "feature". language is for communicating. don't impede that communication by using unnecessary terms.

        I was trying to generalise a concept so I used a placeholder word. I feel that most people got that.

Not gonna lie, I think VapourSynth has been flying under the radar for far too long, and is an awesome largely unused alternative to ffmpeg filter chains in certain cases. I don't see any harm in piggybacking on an ffmpeg story to bring it up, especially if readers find it useful. It's been threaded since its inception, so it seems somewhat topical.
