I'm not sure if people are expecting Media RSS to suddenly pop up in 
the blogosphere wilderness or not. When it was announced, a lot of 
people who should probably know better, got excited about it 
pervading our space.

However Media RSS wasn't designed to replace or embellish what we 
the public know and love as syndication and distribution (at least 
from what I read at the time, and from the design of the schema). It 
was designed primarily for the more traditional meaning 
of "syndication", large media outlets pushing media streams to 
affiliates, which includes program guide metadata. Think broadband TV
providers digitally pushing content to an affiliate station.

So Media RSS may well not be flourishing, but we mustn't make that 
judgement on whether we've seen it pop up on peoples' web sites, 
because it wasn't designed for that. (again, based on what the 
schema looks like, and what was announced by Yahoo! at the time)
