ParaView contains quite a few extensions to VTK, some of them are very
specific to ParaView and some are considered experimental. If there
are specific filters that you would like to see the ParaView team move
to VTK we could certainly bring them up on the list, although they are
unlikely to make VTK 6.0 this late in the RC cycle for both ParaView
and VTK. I don't know the filters you mention very well, and so would
defer to others who know them better.
