This is only the filter detection code (if I'm not mistaken?), and as
such, I think this should still remain there, until we kill binfilter
for good; we still use the import functionality, and for that we need
the filter detection.

binfilter has its *own* typedetection implementation, i.e.
binfilter/binfilterdetect/source/bindetect BinFilterDetect::detect so,
in theory at least, it self-contains what it needs to detect the formats
it imports. So you should be able to hack sc happily without caring
about it.

Hmm. Not sure whether I got you all correctly.
Are you saying that when binfilter is dropped/not shipped anymore, the
corresponding filter-selection is dropped as well? I.e. the user will
be presented with the "choose a filter" dialog for those old formats
instead of something like "those formats are no longer supported - use
<previous version> to convert them"?

Showing a filter dialog for formats where it is known that no filter
exists anymore is not really a nice experience for the user....

ciao
