I support this idea; there are a handful of packages that are important to me which have had updates (some with considerable bug fixes) but the enterprise-development policy of not following upstream updates leaves me with the choice of running without the updates or rolling my own, both of which are less than ideal.
Prime example - totem in stock rhel/centos 5 is fairly old.The totem-gstreamer plugin that builds for it simply does not work with recent versions of firefox.
Thus for a browser plugin, we are left with xine-plugin or mplayer-plugin, neither of which support the fluendo codecs.
Without the fluendo codec pack, many wmv files just don't work.
