Sorry, I thought our goal was 'Linux for human beings'.   Human beings
listen to music and watch video.  And we know what the most common /
de-facto standard formats are for those. (And indeed we know what the
perfect-world standards for those are, and we also know the world isn't
perfect.  

I didn't check the website this week, but I'm pretty sure the mission
statement wasn't updated to 'Linux for FLOSS purists & command line
wizards'.
