It is for this reason, that I've packaged gst-plugins/selection. 
People, who don't want all of the bad plugins, but just a working
subset, can use that procedure to limit the plugins they want to build.
I don't think raghav's patch added anything that will be built
regardless of configuration.

That said, gst-plugins/selection will still pull those extra inputs. 
Once we have parameterized packages, I believe gst-plugins-* will
become a nice playground for those.

Regards,
Leo
