I always saw this as a problem with the FSF. They are urging web site operators to use WebM right away when there isn't even support for them.
They simply sound so naive when they say "Today, we're also urging Web site operators to distribute videos in the WebM format, and abandon H.264". What they should be saying is "Prepare your web sites to transition to WebM".
- drdaeman 16y ago"Prepare" is way too lax. Many will treat it like stick-it note "oh, I have to make sure someday, shall the transition come, my code won't require major rewrites". Like "preparation" for IPv6 support frequently ends with adding more bits to DB fields and adding several stub functions. Unless you actually get your hands dirty and start doing something, not just preparing, there won't be any significant results. Sure, FSF is quite radical with "and abandon H.264" part, but "distribute videos in the WebM format" part is perfectly fine.

- Someone 16y agoI disagree. You cannot have a revolution without at least some pain.
