Well to be fair to LWN.. This is the _second_ thing they picked up from the Gstreamer release.

I don't think that it's actually about the gstreamer release much.. it's more about the idea that gstreamer (being free software) can be utilized to restrict freedoms. It's what people have been paraniod about for a while now (with IBM and Sony and such getting more interested in Linux stuff)

The release announcement for Gstreamer 0.10.0 at LWN is at http://lwn.net/Articles/163637/

It's quite unbiased. :)

Congratutions btw. I've been looking forward to this release. Hopefully it solves most, if not all, of the limitations in the 0.8.0 series stuff. (I wonder how long till it hits Debian Sid..)
