Thanks for your analysis, Ronald, and thanks to everyone involved in the
discussion so far.

As it looks like there's no consensus on this issue, we'll move the
discussion to d-d-l. Here are the possible solutions we'll propose
(other solutions are of course welcome):

 + ship with both 0.8 and 0.10
 + support both versions (./configure options)
 + push back feature and module freeze
 + make exceptions related to GStreamer after the freezes

Thanks,

Vincent
