However acutually I think it was better that FastScan was extended with these extras. This means most of the parcing code has to be done in cpp. And now I think I get to the point.n...
Why is Fastscan a plugin when half the code is embeded in enigma2 binary?

OpenPLi in its wisdom has frozen the plugin on an old version. That means the .xml files can no longer be downloaded and then when there is a provider update the plugin gets a bad name for not working properly when the real problem is the code freeze imposed beyond the control of the plugin authors.
I am getting EXTREMELY tired about this Huevos! I seem to have to repeat myself all the time.
We have not decided to freeze anything. Release builds are stable and final builds, they are not nightly updated. So even if they had AUTOREV, users would not get a new version of the plugin! Every now and then we run a hotfix build, and we bump the SRCREV's, also for this plugin.
My point remains: users that, for whatever reason, can not update the plugin are left behind by your design choice. Your design blocks the download of the xml's, because you can't be bothered to deal with backward compatibility for your users. This is not the problem or the fault of the image builder, it is a shortcoming in the product.
It is time to stop blaming other people for your poor design choices!
edit: There is however an issue that the SRCREV only seems to be updated in the e2openplugins recipe, which we don't use. I've corrected that.

WW, it is not to do with backwards compatibility. You have the same problem in Fastscan. When a provider updates their transponder details it is no longer possible for Fastscan to scan that provider.
I understand the sentiments about release images being "stable" but the flip side is it stops time related updates.

You won't have that (quickly) with Fastscan, as that hardly contains any logic. It reads a list and generates a bouquet, nothing more.
ABM is filled to the brim with all sorts of logic, stuff that isn't directly related to the list as broadcasted by the provider. From massaging channel numbering to adding streams... And dependencies between logic in the xml and login in the plugin code.
