Unfortunately, most users of this package are not automated scripts who
are written for the bittorrent package. This package *is* usable by most
users, it is not usable by your scripts that you wrote for bittorrent.
If you use automated scripts to create torrents (not that many users do,
definately not "most") then you dont need the bittornado package to be
interchangeable with the bittorrent package, you can use automated
scripts that work completely with bittorrent. Most users don't make
their own torrents, but instead download existing ones, so I have
trouble seeing that btmakemetafile makes the package unusable by "most
or all users". As bittornado is a modification of bittorrent, there are
differences.
That said, I do think it is a valid wishlist bug to make it more
interoperable with bittorrent.
