   This is, of course, true...

   But we don't obsolete a MTI because "we have much better options":
we obsolete a MTI because "nobody's using it anymore".

   We are all trusting, I hope, that VP9, H.265, etc. will "just be
used in preference" as soon as two endpoints support them.

   I don't expect to revisit the MTI selection... (That is what we
want, right?)
