Can you expand on what a plugin author has to do to port their plugin to the new pipeline and how much effort it is? Why don't plugin authors support both pipelines?

In the case of rendering special effects, it's akin to a full rewrite and maintaining two independent implementations afterwards.

When I did freelance shader work, I locked in the render pipeline of my customer first, because I know that my price estimate can vary 2x based on which pipeline is needed.
