VST is one of those things that sits odd in some parts of the Linux community. It is not GPL, it is an owned spec. So while the average audio user might like to have a VST plug in. There are some Distributions that will not ship with either VST plugins, VST containers or VST support. It also means some of the people who do a lot of audio coding and maintain binary packages don't care too much about about improving VST support. The average Linux user is no longer someone who regularly expects to roll their own code from source and in fact not that many distros even come with support for that. So to install from source means looking for and installing the tools to build with first. Many people who do audio have a 64bit OS. I know the windows VSTs are all 32 bit, but I think (someone correct me if I am wrong) The Linux VST is the same. The most commonly used DAW in Linux does not support VST. It can be compiled with VST support... but, it requires the tools to build and once you have done so you will not be able to get support from the Ardour devs if you have problems. They will first want you to install their pre-built image. In the end, it is up to you how much time you want to spend on your project. You are not charging for it, some people will find a way to use it so my thought is thank you for making it available on whatever terms you choose. If you have the time (and interest) try LV2, but don't feel you must if that will make it feel like a chore. Perhaps if someone else finds they like it, they will add an LV2 version.
