Answering myself to try to move the discussion here (instead of the
thread on release-team). Here's a more detailed "plan" I propose:

  + keep compatibility with both 0.8 and 0.10 in all of our modules
  + push to fix regressions in 0.10
  + come back in ~1 month (on February 13th, when tarballs for 2.14.0
    Beta 2 are due) and look at what has been fixed and see if the worst
    bugs reported against our modules are for GStreamer 0.8 or GStreamer
    0.10.

I'm not sure, but I don't think there are features in the various
modules using GStreamer that *require* 0.10, are there?
