Yeah same here. Worked for months to get video acceleration working on an nvidia card, then decided to switch to AMD, and now this. I get there's other codecs, but for the user who's been expressly needing those now-removed codecs finding out things no longer work is very annoying.

Really reminds me of the whole Linux on PS3 debacle, when Sony removed the feature after release.

IANAL but this is a horrible idea.

It's like parents turning off the internet entirely WiFi because the kid can't be able to watch 'bad' videos.
Technically, it solves parents' problems but hampers the kid's study in many ways.
Are we going over the board by touching all the way to down to Mesa?

I mean, what's next?
- Remove all torrent software, because it can be used to download... Juridiction=IANAL, Possibility
- Use LibreKernel because... Juridiction = IANAL, Possibility
- ...

This is like triggering the shotgun into your own house. What happens? Users/member of the house shift/leaves the house. I started with F34 and had to already go to heck to achieve a proper video acceleration. And now I hear about this. Truly disappointing and saddening. Reminds me of a possible youtube comment:

Redhat: How hard do you want to make your users suffer?
Fedora: yes
