I am not calling it “shoddy” - you know none of your work is that - but I think a user frustrated by his/her ignorance possibly might call it some names if it is not “de-geeked” a little. I think there are now two clear choices of how to “de-geek” and I hope one of them will be OK for you ( Adjustable Fade - #213 by Gale_Andrews ).
As you know re-release can be difficult. Delay and Vocoder need re-releasing to give two examples but will probably have to wait a long time.
The quality standard for the 2.x series explicitly tolerates only “trivial” regressions:
I have to be “hot” about that.
It’s kind of difficult if the “regression” might make things worse for 20% but better for 80% of folks. The 20% should not be more than minimally inconvenienced by the change, and it should be discoverable for them to adapt.
