+
+Please have a look on Dev meeting logs, il was decided not to create it for
+now, at least before Mageia 2 is out. This was done during meeting some
+weeks ago
+
+
+> This concerns faac and packages been built upon it :
+>
+> see bug 2833
+>
+> These softwares allow to create, encode, or modify media files
+>  (.aac, .mp4 or .m4a) that are very frequently used ...
+> These kind of files don't comply wiht free standard (like ogg or
+> matroska ) but we have to work with them ....
+>  the same way we can do
+> with .mp3 or .mov and others non free standard when using tainted
+> packages
+>
+> Mageia 2 will come soon and maybe it's time to decide what to do !
