With a single maintainer introducing a ffmpeg-free binary packages into Fedora, competing with our fully featured ffmpeg build, this leads to various conflicts and interactions issues. While one could admittedly rejoice from the ffmpeg introduction intro Fedora (enabling ffmpeg support for some fedora package lacking it), the method used to forcibly introduced an un-backed (by most RPM Fusion packager involved) package with uncertain features enabled, was perceived as unfriendly for the least. A determining argument for any "new eyes" is the very short time the Fedora review took compared with a fully backed 6 months Fedora feature review process. Having non-competing packages in fedora+rpmfusion repositories is not a side thing, this is the reason why the RPM Fusion projects was created in the first place. Because of that we cannot afford support for ffmpeg-free at all and will recommend to migrate to our fully featured version.
