Similar to what the situation was with the Lame MP3 libraries prior to the last MP3 patent expiring. We could certainly enable the hooks for those libraries when building the RPMs for CentOS, but it's generally a Really Bad Idea to enable any 'alternative' repo(s) on a standard CentOS Rivendell system (other than EPEL on CentOS 7, which comes enabled out-of-the-box). *Serious* version skew mayhem can (and on occasion has) ensue[d], to the point where the subject system can no longer even launch a desktop.
