A bit of Blairspeak there. It wasn't tough - it was just potentially
unpopular. I, however, like it very much for totem since it means theora
plays reliably.

Next you'll be saying that you've got a difficult job, then go and shoot
a Brazilian to wind down after work ;)

PS, The reason I think it was the right decision (and an easy, not
tough, one) is that if dapper-updates adds plugins later, it will have
feature parity, 0.8 is not architecturally good enough for 5 year
support and upgrading from 0.8 - 0.10 would be an invasive change in a
stable product.
