Returning to the subject of VST developers and Linux it seems that OvertoneDSP (formerly LinuxDSP) are discontinuing Linux support. There's no mention of Linux on their site any more.
From a KVR forum:
"Unfortunately, the diverse (and sometime volatile) nature of distributions and / or some open source host applications, increasingly means that we are unable to guarantee the standard we wish to provide and that our linux users have come to expect. Increasingly we are finding valuable developer time and resources diverted to investigating / addressing issues which are the result of custom modifications / self-builds of host applications or other plug-ins etc.
This is a disappointment to us, and is to a large extent out of our control. As such, we are evaluating whether it will be the right course of action to develop future products compatible with desktop linux distributions."

I also fear that Bitwig may be in trouble looking at their latest pricing scheme for v2.
