IMO, mandatory codec revisiting has to be done for all webrtc entities.
Why not doing it for web browsers when one codec is proved to be royalty
free? Are the specs going to force any browser flavour to pay many forever?

Btw, from the minutes sent on the mailing list, I understood that the
decision is to be confirmed on the list (which is the norm for IETF
anyhow). Unless I missed some messages, I haven't seen any discussion
here following the last IETF meeting, exposing the conclusion of the
meeting and asking to have a decision on that.
