When the next LTS is released or there is a developer community of 
sufficient size to make that change.

I doubt it - if you had read the mailing list already you would have 
seen this being debated and the answers are always the same.

If you had checked the web site you would have found out more about vlc.

It is down to upstream and a lack of devs on our part.

Feel free to work out how it is to be done (read the mailing list), then 
participate in that way.

Currently on the code side we have two main contributors.
Sure one small change here and one there, then the next thing you know 
you have hundreds of programs to take care of. There are a couple of 
thousand programs already in the distro.

Brian and Karl and many cheers for them. We had a lot of help from Chris 
F in the past.

We have the support of sysadmins within the FSF we have Freenode for irc.


Forums - I don't read them, I just can't get my head around them.
