Read my release notes. It already answers this question.

There is no question of allowing anything. The remix already exists and 
people are using it.  The only decision is to let the project use the 
rpmfusion volunteer mirrors or not. You still want to allow a staging 
repository for packages ( or Koji personal repos in Fedora land) because 
sometimes things have to happen first before others can participate. 
Again,  anyone is welcome to participate. In the absence of 
participation, I still intend to continue to get things done.

I want the remix to be basically usable for me as it is and without 
libdvdcss,  the benefit is much less and I bet everybody here is using 
it anyway but if  there is interest in such a project, somebody else has 
to step up and do it.   Omega can still use the Livna mirrors I guess.
