Oh come on, just upgrade to modern GStreamer and drop the patches.

I'd even prefer leaving some layout tests broken with a note saying they should be fixed when we next upgrade GStreamer than applying patches downstream.

r=me for syncing the patches, though.

Note: I *generally* support Carlos Garcia's new policy of upgrading deps once per cycle, which I think will work well for everything except GStreamer. But GStreamer is so important, and upgrades usually affect tests, so for GStreamer specifically I think it's more important to continuously upgrade to the latest version.

We use patches that didn't even land in GStreamer yet because we are pushing to include them.

I don't.

Not all these patches are available in upstream gstreamer, the cookie jar one is of particular note here, but perhaps we should use this opportunity to rebase the pending upstream bug report and get it in...

Plus, Fedora 25 at least is shipping 1.10.5, so it doesn't look like we're depending on antiques here.

That's an interesting one. I filed a gardening commit related to this for GTK/WPE here: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174354
