It's sad to see that closed so fast. As long as people feel "ownership" over certain parts of the software then then new ideas will continue to be needlessly shot down, at least for the wrong reasons.
Taking advantage of an add-on if installed, but not requiring it, is exactly the direction we want people to go in when it comes to extra skin features.
This is also part of the reason it's hard to find new developers.
It is a perfectly fine reason to not add this. Same like the video extra addon. It's a nice idea but the current way it is implemented is not the correct solution and certainly way beyond anything user friendly. Find a C++ dev that finds a correct way of implementing it.
Fact is that we add support for addon X another one also wants support for Y, Z, A, B, C, D and so on.
