I've looked into this a bit, and discussed with other distro packagers and 
vlc upstream.

VLC is fairly modular, and it's unencumbered bits could be brought to fedora 
and the other stuff live in some -freeworld subpkg in rpmfusion. 

Implementing this would be a bit of work, but worth it in my opinion.  I 
haven't had much time to pursue implementing it myself unfortunately.  I 
only wanted to highlight that bringing vlc to fedora is possible.
