I'm okay with this. The only case I had for using modular repos was
Nodejs, but that is demodularizing now.

Please don't do this, as ffmpeg will pull the codec in if available,
and there are tons of headless use-cases for ffmpeg that make the
availability of this codec useful. It's also a really tiny repository
anyway...

I'd like to second to what Neal said. I think it makes sense to disable the modular repos by default, but I'd rather keep the cisco openh264 repo enabled.
