Community will discuss it and do what's the best for the project (and yes, project is not single person who has their wishes). Personally I woulnt complain about that separation if done properly, but just don't see a reason for it. Most of the stuff you don't need/like you can disable at compilation level.

I think you may be exaggerating a bit here. At least three people showed their disagreement 
about this patch, and while some strong words have been tossed around, none of them afaics 
were directed at people.

Last thing we need is a flame war and drama out of a youtube demuxer implementation, so 
please, lets all calm down.
