If the time it takes to do that doesn't add value to the potential audience then it may be a waste of time.
The biggest part of all this (imo) is the "Midi" mixer channel, not necessarily a new arrange class. As Gofer eloquently laid out, that stuff can probably be added to the current universal class with some clever thought. But that doesn't solve the mixer problem. So maybe the middle ground is an optional CC class channel for the mixer? Dunno.
I know Reaper is a new paradigm but (aside from Studio One which also suffers from this problem, even more than Reaper) is there any other sequencer without CC midi mixer channels in the mixer alongside audio channels and/or where arrange fader and pan are generally useless for midi? Not saying there isn't, just asking.
Good discussion. Good points all around I think.
