Upstream simply does not satisfy KDE's requirements for binary and source compatibility, namely BC and SC across a major release lifecycle.

GStreamer's BC and SC have been broken more than once since KDE 4.0, which means we (and every developer using the KDE platform) would be stuck with old and unsupported versions.

That's the exact opposite of maintainability.
