This is not at all what I implied.
I believe we will need new codecs in the future, say one that provide more compressions.
Will that have to be mandatory or recommended is TBD.

At the same time, if we have a new codec we need to ensure legacy systems will continue to work. 
This is the reason I do not agree with the note under webrtc-compatible endpoint which only take in account RF aspects.
I have proposed that the notes take RF aspects for VP8 and takes legacy aspects for H.264 as these are the arguments put forward by respective proponents.

We need MTI codecs, but no patent/license polluted ones. That's the reason of my question. Will those non 100% RF video codecs be removed as MTI *if* a new 100% RF good video codec appeared? Will we have to deal with non RF MTI codecs forever?

The arguments I'm reading in this thread about the no-need for more MTI codecs in the future could also be applied for the no-need of defining any MTI codec now. At the end we do have a "codec negotiation/capability discovery" mechanism, right?
