If there are differing opinions grounded in technical criteria for helix still being the default, I'd appreciate hearing them for perspective.
Me too : Totem is the obvious choice for Fedora Core, and I still don't understand why nor how Helix got to steal its place. I guess someone should just file a bug report regarding the default comps to have the replacement happen?
I see two possible reasons for having Helix in the past releases as default:
- until recently Totem was not considered mature enough even by its developers (it was neither the default player in Gnome), but this is not the case anymore
- last year Red Hat signed an agreement with Real to bundle Helix http://www.realnetworks.com/company/press/releases/2004/real_redhat.html
