Yes that's true, I should have mentioned that. Well, people can read the

Unless FESCO is planning to host an emergency meeting, the Firefox issue
will be decided after the IETF vote, or at least too late to have any
influence. Regardless of what Firefox may be permitted to do on its own
- and not all of us use Firefox - "the OpenH264 code from Cisco is not
acceptable in Fedora" is a very significant statement.
