Agreed. I find it a bit woeful as well that we're reneging on decisions we 
made during the forming of rpmfusion.
On the other hand, Thorsten is doing much much much more work for rpmfusion then 
I've ever done. Thus I'm inclined to just shut up and accept it.

Do not forget that one of the main reasons for fusion was the plan to 
implement the Fedora + 1 repository concept for all software needs.
Right now we're probably at Fedora + rpmfusion + livna + adobe...
That's at least one, possibly two to many.
