Like I said. I agree with this 100%. I just wanted to point the potential 
consequences of including the flags in the main distro. I for one will live 
quite happily with whatever decision the steering committee makes as I 
personally will not be negatively affected by their inclusion. And if they are 
excluded, then I will quite happily continue to get them from the extra 
package provided by rpmfusion.
