I don't see mandating H.264 in WebRTC as a good thing. So I'd rather not 
see Fedora people spend time supporting it, as opposed to doing other 
Fedora related work. And for people that don't need to worry about software 
patents or who don't worry about practising them without proper licensing, 
they can use x264 from RPMFusion.
