Git is a source code management system and not a bug tracker. You are
confusing things.

I didn't say using wmv was the problem although if they had included it
in a open format - Ogg, Firefox 3.5 in Fedora 11 would have played it
out of the box.

Totem plays wmv files just fine. You need the gstreamer plugins -
gstreamer-plugins-ugly and gstreamer-ffmpeg included in RPM Fusion but
not Fedora due to software patents.
