I'm afraid you are wrong. It is irrelevant why that person was angry because they have no right to ask for pretty much anything. In the fansubbing world, you take what you get, and if you don't like it, you do it yourself. Not you, me, or anyone else has the right to dictate how anyone else releases their files. If I want to release a show that has never been available in 10bit black and white video, that is my own business, and you can either download it or not. Sure, you may make angry posts, but you have right to demand anything. I'm noticing that people who want 8bit are demanding quite a lot these day: dual releases (8 bit and 10 bit), 8 bit only, etc. Quite funny, if you ask me.

be found on many Blu-ray players and various other set top box style front ends.
So I built a media server that uses such devices in mostly theater style environments,that
can be accessed with a remote instead of a mouse and keyboard. But! that support is limited to 8-bit encodes.
While Media Player Classic does a great job of playing 10-bit files , it's user interface
sets the U.I. back 20 years . And when sitting in a theater type environment the stark white
folder you have to use to choose what you want to watch just kills your eyes.
If there was a Media Center style library that would launch my media in Media Player Classic
I would then be pacified till set top hardware caught up .And jump on the 10-bit band wagon as well .
But I have yet to find one that works any where as smooth WMC7 or other set top players with a remote or mouse.
If you know of one then I would like to see it.

I just finished building a HTPC that utilizes this software. If set up correctly it plays 10bit flawless, but you can also let it use MPC as external player. I also recommend to use it with the streamed MP design plugin, looks really cool :D

@DmonHiro
1) This topic is about how will bakabt pick stuff to be allowed. Nowhere is this a discussion about what encoders should or should not do.
2) It's an open question though if everybody really follows this sort of "ethos" you describe, since it is a bit on the conceited-dick side in fact. (no offense...)
Disclaimer: I do encode in 10-bit. (In SD only though. While I might get in a sort of a dilemma about it if I was about to release a HD rip in 10bit, that didn't happen yet... so I'm still entitled to patronise here I think.)
DmonHiro:
OnDeen, you are right, of course. I was just answering to the posts about entitlement.

What are you talking about? I was calling the person wrong, not agreeing with him.
Edit: Oh, I get it. No, my post was trying to agree with kureshii that the post from Jazzkatt was ridiculous. That's why I quoted kureshii and not Jazzkatt.
