Agreed. In fact at the start of the F8 cycle I said something like that, 
with the feature being Iced Tea, but didn't follow it with any graphics.

I planned to talk about this myself but wanted to wait a few weeks so we 
cool down after the release and start thinking forward.
How about the feature outlined in F9 being multimedia/music? CodecBuddy 
will mature a bit until then, PulseAudio the same, we certainly will 
have some improvements in Rhythmbox and Totem, who knows what other 
improvements (I hope too much in a Pitivi able to do *something*), more 
integration from Planet CCRMA, maybe the Art Studio spin...
