But if Apple produces one app to serve the consumer and pro (or 
pro-sumer) markets, then the potential customer base grows considerably.

And no, actually. Those developers know that Aperture will still be 
compatible with Yosemite.

But Photos WILL boost the overall number of potential customers for 
plug-ins/extensions...

...because it will be on every Mac.
