Looking forward to all of that. But are there any ideas/plans how to make the transition to all of that new stuff as painlessly as possible for users and contributors? just wondering: Shall I manually exclude those packages (and packages that are build against it) from pushing until all the major things that depend on x264 and ffmpeg got rebuild? E.g. gstreamer-ffmpeg, xine-lib-extras-nonfree, mplayer and vlc?
