Makes sense. My suggestion for the flag name would actually be proprietary-codecs. This matches config option name in Chromium sources, and it's not just h264 but also e.g. MPEG-4 and MP3. The flag would be disabled by default. I'd then add RESTRICT="proprietary-codecs? ( bindist )" to the ebuild and remove both elog messages. Paweł
