Just for the record, i didn't, but the topic raises some questions for |
| 5 |
me. Really really not intended as a flamebait to raise a debate on |
| 6 |
principles. Just asking. |

Support in the terms of decoding but also encoding? I could only find |
| 13 |
decoders - and only for x86 and amd64 (media-video/realplayer). |

That's very nice from IU for sure and especially if there are not many |
| 21 |
(read: one) options to choose from the outcome is pretty obvious. |
| 22 |
However, i'm not sure what our Social Contract says about it. It seems |
| 23 |
to deal with the operating system itself, but there seem to be no |
| 24 |
implications about anything else. So in theory we could host the whole |
| 25 |
www.gentoo.org stuff on IIS servers? |
