+1. If people hate it, it's just one more menu item, and we can remove it.

Yes, we should go to more modular configuration, and not include
extraneous stuff. But I think its popularity warrants including it as
is. This is a minor version release.

It's worth noting that Paul was an early contributor to Audacity. He
wrote the original effect processing in Bass Boost, Phaser, and Wahwah.
He's in the credits.


After 2.0.1, it sounds like porting it to Nyquist is the best idea. Is
that the best subsequent route to vocoder?

Extensively, me neither. Tested a bit on stuff I generated, listened to
some of the samples in top reviews. Beyond that, I'm trusting the
discussion.

As GVerb is part of LADSPA, we do not absolutely need to install it, vs
the LADSPA packages (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/plugins),
but yes we are. That's because we *must* have some kind of reverb
packaged. So until we have a better reverb, this is it, I agree.
