I know the rationale. I'm talking about the general case and yes I'm
also applying it here specific because i think consistency is important.
One of the reasons behind the plug-ins split-up was to avoid a
mesmerizing amount of USE flags for gst-plugins, but if those flags are
going to be implemented in every gst using package we're even farther
from that goal. Agreed I'm generalizing here and a line could be drawn
somewhere a bit further than flac, but in my opinion it could already be
drawn here.
