You'd rather keep getting avi files with lousy 128kbit cbr mp3 audio,
or unseekable ogm files?? :(

Even if you don't care about these, I think it's useful to get mpcf
widely accepted before mcf/matroska are deployed. Otherwise we're
going to have to implement support for that crap in mplayer once
people start using it..... :( If we kill it with a better alternative
before it's even in use, everyone might just forget about it and then
we can avoid that painful work.
