In either case, it's patented stuff, and you can fetch it yourself, if you want to. Surely, if MP3 playback is very much alive, then shader-based VDPAU implementation should be able to survive not being in the default Fedora install.

I do foresee Fedora shipping VP8 decoding, and they do *right now* ship drivers for h264 decoders OUT OF THE BOX. And don't forget that there are different kinds of users. There are the users like you and me, who can setup a 3rd party repo, or build from source, or FIX the damned broken source, and FORCE it to work, and then there are users like deanjo. The people who can barely figure out how to turn their computer ON can't be expected to hunt down and install video decoder libraries....
