I would be very SAD if this change lands on my computer. While instead of arguing with some legal puzzles, I think those parts can be provided by seperate package (and maybe packaged in rpmfusion?) like intel- media-driver.
Is there any build-to-build ABI match requirement between the VAAPI implementation and mesa itself?

Hi,
since this mesa change ( https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mesa/c/94ef544b3f2125912dfbff4c6 ef373fe49806b52?branch=rawhide ) in F37 and rawhide, the mesa package lost support for vaapi accelerated encoding and decoding of h264, h265 and decoding of vc1 ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2123998%C2%A0).
It seems like a big regression from F36 for users with GPUs with open source drivers (mainly AMD, maybe nVidia/other non x86...), that affects common use-cases of Fedora Workstation, like watching videos, in-house game streaming, attending online meetings and many more.
I'd like to ask:
- Can somebody elaborate on reasons to change something that was
working in Fedora for some time already?
- Is there any short/mid/long term plan to improve the situation?
- Would it be possible to provide vaapi support at least as an
rpmfusion addon to alleviate the fallout in the short term?
Thanks!

This change will only affect AMD, as the intel non-free drivers do not depend on the changes. It is also unclear how this would affect nvidia. There is barely any hardware video acceleration support for nouveau anyway, for which you would install the proprietary driver. Further, as NVIDIA does not expose a vaapi interface, you need to install third party packages to get it to work with Firefox. So AFAICT this will primarily (if not only) affect AMD users.
