Which is pretty good... esp. considering that some ports take
months or more to get updated, esp. when security concerns
pop up (*cough* java/jdk16 *cough*) ;-)

But the point is, that even the author is no magician: should
YT decide to switch to a completely different scheme, reverse-
engineering that could prove very hard and up to impossible.
We're lucky to have youtube-dl, and I hope author and maintainer
will keep updating it as often as possible, as they do now.
