Unless things have things have changed radically and I haven't noticed 
any of it, this is not true at all.

There are two "plugins", (which aren't even plugins as they aren't 
loaded dynamically).

ClassicCommDetector is what is used by default, which uses a combination 
of blank frame, scene change
, aspect change and logo detection.

CommDetector2 is a relatively new detector written by Robert Tsai, which 
I am less fermiliar with, but seems
to focus strongly on strong logo detection.

It's fairly easy to write a new detector, but so far rtsai is the only 
one who actually did.
