The only time the graph matters is when an input buffer is shared on
more than one input - within a plugin or not.  As long as you don't do that,
or make an exception for that case (mark buffers as read-only), the graph
doesn't matter - unless I am missing something.

That said, I agree that there is a trade off between simplicity and
functionality.  That's one of the things we need to decide, and I am willing
to go with the group decision, as long as it is made based on reality and
not just dislike for new or different models.
