Good Idea... What the Developers and marketing people think about it?

A common complaint I hear is that people think Fedora is "broken" when it doesn't play MP3s. This leads to mailing list and forum traffic, negative word-of-mouth exposure, and needless confusion. I think the problem is that when you try to play an MP3 file... nothing happens at all or you get an ugly codec message -- both of these indeed seem to indicate something is broken. Why not have a pop up that explains why Fedora doesn't play MP3s and give a link to the wiki where it is explained in further detail? I could file an RFE on this.... I think it would cut down on the confusion. Has this been previously discussed? Thoughts?
