If you don't need any features beyond what avisynth 2.5 offers and the plugin can't be easily changed to a better threading model (rare), nothing.
The key here is that x64 builds for windows are coming in a bit and then old avisynth stuff just won't work. (and don't think avisynth x64 plugins is the answer, since they're usually "delete key" ports and run slower than the 32-bit equivalents)
A properly written vs plugin also has the advantage of being compiled/used on any OS. I think of this as a new start where I and some other people slowly port/rewrite the most popular parts of avisynth's filters so they finally work in a modern environment everywhere...
