+Thats seams to be whats happening, i dont see any interest in
+resolving this situation, so users like me are forced to look for
+solutions else where, and this is specially for users that need to
+handle video/audio encoding, they will need for sure to look for
+another distro.
+
+I thought Mageia policy was against this but seams i was wrong.
