(Metooing here.)

I think we should push for WebM (.webm) referring exclusively to
Matroska/VP8/Vorbis and WebM2 (.webm2) referring exclusively to
Matroska/VP9/Opus. (If there's a use case for recording WebRTC calls
with VP8 and Opus, Matroska/VP8/Opus could be called .webrtc.)

There indeed is value in having a fixed mix of codecs per name that
people see, and it's quite sad if Google is abandoning the plan to
have a clear meaning for "WebM" at the first opportunity.
