--- Comment #16 from Tim-Philipp Müller <t.i.m at zen.co.uk> ---
Well, it's a technical liability and has the potential to be the cause of bugs,
e.g. someone could craft a file that exploits unmaintained bitrotten code
paths.

Also, libav has a decoder for this format now, so if decoding old files is the
only concern, this plugin is not needed for that.

In any case, I don't think we're going to move this to -ugly.

If we can in addition to that get consensus to remove it, even better :)
