If fdk-aac was approved, then welcome (I will give positive karma here). The world is changing, and we must adapt. The user must choose; then we need give the user the options. If some third-party repository does not want to maintain the original fdk-aac, It is problem of the repository; other will do... This is how the world works.
The problem is that the third-party repository was previously shipping a different codec, the built-in one from FFmpeg, as the default, with nicer licensing and better FFmpeg integration. Now they'll have to deal with fdk-aac just because Fedora decided to ship a crippled version of it. And they'll have to do an fdk-aac-freeworld override without a real need for it.
And the other problem is that the decoder Fedora is going to ship silently produces wrong sound for some input files! That fits my definition of a broken decoder exactly.

We still don't know the outcome of comment #52 (license review by the FSF).
That's irrelevant. RH legal already cleared it.
So you would be happy to ship something the FSF considers non-free?
Hey! but the third-party repository isn't enable the support for fdk-aac by default in ffmpeg... https://github.com/rpmfusion/ffmpeg/blob/master/ffmpeg.spec#L91 . Then I can't see a real problem here. Other, only the bundled ffmpeg in Handbrake use it... Maintain a fdk-aac-freeworld isn't the death.
