CVE-2016-9634, CVE-2016-9635, CVE-2016-9636, CVE-2016-9808,
CVE-2016-9807, CVE-2016-9445, CVE-2016-9445, CVE-2016-9447,
CVE-2016-9809..... there's others, not to mention issues likely found
and fixed in gst1 that weren't back ported to the 0.10 series, and
even if there were bugs backported to the Fedora releases given
there's no upstream support it would a "scrape the internet" for the
fixes scenario.

The issues with media and vulnerabilities are well known, Google has
had many many large issues with android with the same sort of issues
which caused them to completely rewrite their media stack to run
completely sandboxed, somthing that the old version of gstreamer
doesn't support.
