The intention behind my question was to be able to provide some sort of 
stability for the image plugins now that we have non-destructive editing and 
possibly reproducible filter actions.
That doesn't mean filters cannot change, of course they can, but if they 
change substantially, we'll increment the version.
Now blur is a central component reused by other filters, it would be desirable 
to have a good, future-proof solution for all platforms. Though it seems this 
solution is not available.
