What is so hard about this? I mean come on....What is allegro? Why would a
channel made for allegro have discussions on what it is? Allegro is first
and foremost a library. Now what kind of library is it is under debate
depending on who you ask. For me it is a multimedia library that started out
as a game programming library and thanks to the dedicated members that are
constantly working on it the library has become the multimedia library that
it is today. You can use allegro to make games, or in projects that have
nothing to do with games. I have seen people make winamp stuff with allegro
and a lot more.

I think he's implying that allegro should be written like a traditional
software project -- ie. the "customer" provides requirements and then
allegro should be written to meet the requirements.
However because of the nature of allegro and the way it is developed, there
is no one "customer" who is in charge of what allegro should and should not
do, and features tend to just get added when somebody writes the code and
others agree that it should be part of allegro. In this sense I'm not sure
it necessarily lends itself to objective-driven design.
