Which decision are you referring to-- the third party software proposal?
I'm not really sure how it's relevant to the situation of using reverse
weak deps in RPM Fusion on packages in Fedora. I think it might be valuable
to have a separate discussion about it though, because it seems to entirely
short circuit existing efforts to provide additional (sometimes nonfree)
software for Fedora-- namely, this one.

In any case, in regards to the original topic at hand, I think it makes
sense to use reverse weak deps in RPM Fusion where appropriate.
