There's no reproach in my sentence. Just a remark :-)

As  an educative  project we  should keep  those features  available for
those who want  to experiment them. But this  excludes our growing "Joe"
user base who just want  to have movies playable (almost) everywhere and
on hardware (when possible).

What we could do, is have a public patches repository that we would sync
from  time to  time  with main  development  trunk. Or  we could  create
feature branches  that would be  frozen once the  feature is added  as a
proof of concept.
