First off, the <presentation> element is not relevant (and not present) at 
ingest time, so ingest will always work. Once the mediapackage has been 
distributed to the various distribution channels, there will now be 
<presentation> elements in the mediapackage that is telling the admin ui (and 
any other piece of code dealing with the mediapackages) in an explicit way 
where the mediapackage has been distributed to (and how it can be accessed on 
that channel in terms of url).

The admin ui will need to be changed to look at these elements to offer 
"retract" and "play/review" functionality. This means that if we don't go in 
and fix the mediapackages, the admin ui will think that these recordings have 
not been distributed and can therefore not be retracted, so depending on your 
use case you may want to update the mediapckages or reprocess (at least 
redistribute) them. If you are not using the archive, then most likely you 
won't need to worry about it at all.
