kde-redhat's KDE packages include Juk. kdemultimedia-extras from Livna
doesn't, and probably never will (unless somebody wants to volunteer on
maintaining it painstakingly). Adding Juk in there would create a
potential conflict with Core, because the kdemultimedia spec file contains
conditional code which can build and include Juk. Only a build requirement
(taglib-devel from Fedora Extras) is missing in Core, IIRC. As such, Juk
ought to be built either in Core (with taglib moved there) or in Extras.

I think we have enough KDE media players already. Amarok, Kaffeine,
Noatun, Kaboodle. An update for kdemultimedia-extras in the queue will add
more video support.
