I think I covered most of this later in the post.  The rest you can see here:

I can't imagine us choosing a MM framework based on Freedesktop 
recommendations honestly.  Especially since this was one of the things that I 
specifically noted wouldn't affect KDE when I supported GStreamer being moved 
over to FD.o on the XDG list.

While I support GStreamer, I support standardization following technology, not 
the other way around.
