It depends and varies greatly from release to release depending on
what changes have been made to the bitstream which why up until now
I've had it disabled in Fedora. Come January though the celt team have
announced that the bit stream with be final and frozen which is when I
will enable it in Fedora and hence why I thought i would try it out
again to see the status of it in opal.
