Maybe we could take a vote? Would the -devel list be appropriate?

Here's some strawman options:

Option A: Put libdvdcss into rpmfusion-free.

  Most convenient option for users. Some RPM Fusion devs or mirror
operators might object.

Option B: Create a parallel rpmfusion-libdvdcss repository, that would
be similar to our -free and -nonfree repos.

  This gives mirror operators the flexibility to exclude this
repository if they are not comfortable hosting the RPMs.

Option C: Put a libdvdcss spec into the rpmfusion-free CVS, but don't build it.

  The advantage here is that users at least can access the spec file
if livna goes down again.

Option D: Do nothing.
