As soon as FFv1.3 is considered "stable", this would make sense.
However, right now v1.3 is marked "experimental" - and therefore it  
would be dangerous to automatically enable the bitstream.

So, as far as I understand it, your "problem" is only temporarily -  
and will be gone as soon as FFv1.3 is officially released as stable.
