I'm thinking it might just be easier if we make it modular - upstream is 
more than happy as soon as I submit the patch. In the meantime I'm more 
than happy to leave the Fedora build in stasis, but will update the 
qtractor in RPMFusion 17 to build against the new LV2 stack if that's 
OK? (suil/lilv rather than slv2). Currently, I don't own anything in 
RPMFusion - is it OK that Orcan passes ownership to me being a Fedora 
maintainer or do I have to do something else?
