I think that when adding outside repositories like openh264 was discussed,
it was brought up multiple times this lack of support would happen. There
is no incentive for the "partners" to fix these sorts of problems and there
will always be a lot of incentive to put it off another day for whatever
internal fires are going on. At this point, I think we should acknowledge
that we as a project made a mistake and figure out how to fix this for our
users.
