Just look at the archive of this ml about codec missing, for instance..

You seem to forget a majority of Leap users don't want (and sometime don't
know) how to fiddle with regression in packages. Not everybody is like you
or me (or people subscribed to this ml ;)

I think we should try to _link 42.2_{gstreamer,ffmpeg,whatever} to

linking to 42.2:Update would be indeed a good start, and using ffmpeg from
42.2:Update and enabling patented codecs from this project and publishing
the additional gstreamer packages from 42.2:Update (if any, I didn't check
source code) would probably be enough for Leap users. No need to have
everything up to date.

(PS: I switched to list only, no need to cc everybody involved since
everybody is subscribed).
