rpmfusion's job is to provide US patent-law encumbered packages to the free
world, not to cater US patent laws. I.e. I consider rpmfusion having ripped out
faac encoding from most of its packages to be a failure of rpmfusion and their
leadership.

Neither do I, nor do I know what xbmc actually uses faac for, to me it's a
matter principles: If rpmfusion was doing its job properly, it would ship
packages with faac enabled and would not cripple their packages - as they
currently do!!!!!!
