They are not a hard req no - they are however upstreams "prefered" 
encoders/decoders for things like DTS, h264 and h265. Further when 
googling for howtos, they are the toplisted ones.

We should allow our endusers to use whatever plugins they prefer, just 
because the gst-libav package exists as an alternative, does not mean
that we should only provide that one.

In any case, this discussion is now moot, as after I did the subs (that 
did get acked into staging), the "normal" bad and ugly packages got 
branched
for 15.2 anyway. Dr's for the new alternative packages in staging were 
filed and acked, so they are now gone.
