VS only supports packed RGB for backwards compatibility with Avisynth and for output. Internally in a filtering framework there is no reason whatsoever to ever use packed. Just unpack on input and pack on output if you have to - my gut feeling says that for any but the most trivial filters that's going to be insignificantly slower than filtering packed (and you can drop a dumb extra code path too). There are most likely no particularly useful or interesting RGB only filters anyway, so breaking things shouldn't be a big deal.
