Justin, I don't think everyone agrees with you on this. If VP8 was magically 100% guaranteed to be free of all patents tomorrow, there would still be a large block of people arguing for H.264.  I'm not trying to say there is consensus on this topic, one way or the other, just that not everyone agrees with that.
