We have no current plans to make it an extension point for Mac or iOS

as built-in CDMs (for example, see
<http://techblog.netflix.com/2014/06/html5-video-in-safari-on-os-x-yosemite.html>).
So we don’t see the value proposition of allowing third-party CDMs to
be plugged in.
If you disagree with that stance and have a specific use case, feel
free to submit that feedback via bugreport.apple.com
<http://bugreport.apple.com> or to Apple Developer Relations. It is
not really a suitable topic to debate on webkit-dev.
Other WebKit ports may feel differently, and may want an interface to
plug in third-party CDMs. That is up to them. I don’t have any
objection to other WebKit ports using this mechanism, I’m just
reporting that it wouldn’t be especially useful to us.
Ok, thanks for the info. I'll bring it up with the GTK developers (if
they support EME at all..) if we decide to move forward with this in WebKit.
