I don't think that Kai-Uwe can possibly take responsibility for all 
those distributions.  Distributions need to take responsibility for 
themselves.  Usually this just works, but sometimes distributions need 
a bit of encouragement from concerned users.

If Oyranos adds considerable value to CinePaint and is sufficient 
quality, then I believe that it makes sense for CinePaint to 
absolutely require it so that Oyranos will be naturally propelled into 
the various distributions because CinePaint requires it.  The 
alternative is that CinePaint will normally be made available with 
features missing.

If Oyranos is not yet ready for "prime time" then the issue is 
different.  If this is the case, it could be bundled with CinePaint 
and incorporated into the CinePaint build so that only CinePaint can 
use it.
