  If people cared about quality, they wouldn't waste their time watching
YouTube... Seriously, although we all care about the quality, most other
people (read, not developers) will just use Gnash for ads on web pages,
navigating web sites, or wasting time watching video. We are only really
talking about people that build Gnash from source, and just use all the
configure defaults. The people that build binary distributions of Gnash
will configure it however they feel like, as my experience is they
prefer to supply all relevant options themselves, and not rely on the
default behavior being correct. So we can argue all we want about the
default, but the fact is it's a minor issue.

  Quinn's tasks for Gnash are to focus on the graphics end of Gnash.
Initially fixing OpenGL and Cairo, but ultimately maintaining all the
renderer backends, so we can all focus on other parts of Gnash.
