ffmpeg, unfortunately, isn't set up to be modularised like this; you
can't build an ffmpeg-free with the free codecs and an ffmpeg-patented
with the patented ones and have them co-exist nicely. So an ffmpeg build
with almost all the codecs ripped out in the Fedora repos would
'compete' with the full build in That Other Repo, not complement it, and
the way the two repos are set up, it would be tricky to have a
handicapped build in the Fedora repo and a full build in That Other One
and have it easy for people to pick the one from That Other Repo (since
Other Repo packages use the same disttag as Fedora ones).
