Again this may just be stepping around the details of the GPL and not
the spirit, but what about having some sort of separate process for
media add-ons (or at least GPL ones?) I guess performance might
suffer, but personally I'd like these areas improved in performance
because of the multi-process browser design I want to implement :)
Plus it might be useful to have a general purpose system for
out-of-process add-ons for robustness (taking Tracker add-ons out of
process for example...we can't count on all of them being written
right.)
Though this might be too much to tackle for the alpha (and/or you all
think I'm crazy...)
