How do I kow what makes a plugin "bad'?

[Wes Miller]

I was just looking at the docs for camerabin and notice it's in gst-plugins-bad.  It shows as LGPL, so that's goodness.  What makes it bad?

same question in general.  How do you know what's bad in an element?

  gst-plugins-bad is where all new plugins first go. Call it
purgatory :) People can then request a plugin-move for it to be moved to
-good or -ugly (depending on license/patent issues).

Lets point out once again, that everybody can request a plugin do be
moved. Check if it complies to the list:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/docs/random/moving-plugins

it it does file a bug and request it to be moved. If it does not adhere
to the requirements, help to get there :)
