That would be my wish as well -- but, unfortunately, it seems to be a fantasy that is not destined to come true.
Curiously, Avid's development model is an unholy mix of refusing to upgrade toolsets over a period of 10-15 years -- while at the same time, not providing a truly robust architecture to empower 3rd plugin developers.
For example, aside from the relational limitations, the last time I used the Baselight plugin you couldn't monitor the output over HD-SDI in real time (I've seen it as low as 3 FPS). Apparently, Filmlight has repeatedly asked for this to be addressed -- but to no avail.
So you are making decisions based on a small image on a computer monitor (RGB color space, Truelight or not). Even worse, you have 3 or 4 clients leaning over your shoulder attempting to see what you are doing.
You can't have it both ways: You can't ignore toolsets for a decade or longer -- and not at least give your 3rd party developers the means to take-up your slack and make the product 'whole' -- even if it's at an additional cost to your users.
