Ubuntu 12.04 LTS hasn't reached EOL yet.  VLC works fine with EFL
on that.  If I was a mere user, sure I would stick to stable EFL, I'm a
developer.  Though previous stable EFLs also had to be told not to use
gst1.

On the other hand, I'm considering a switch to Debian some day
soonish, or something else.
