There is another reason to adopt this approach - it is hard to build something relying that if the user has QGIS version X they will also have processing algorithm Y - which is something we are running into here with our plugin development.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Regards</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Tim</div><div class="">
