Formalistically, the people who argue for abandoning an MTI, like the 
people who argue for adapting an antiquated codec, have not put in a 
draft by the chairs' deadline of October 6, so have not made a proposal.

But I'm not the one who argued for this to be put on the agenda for 2 hours.
The people who pushed for this to be on the agenda for 2 hours need to 
come forward and say why they believe this is a good use of our time. I 
haven't yet heard a VP8 proponent saying so.

So far, apart from learning a bit more about configuring x264, I haven't 
seen much new information.
