I think that's what he meant by "post-gotham"

I don't think HEVC is a big deal to implement right now, and I'm not sure how adding features to Gotham works or anything, but it seems to me like waiting until 2015 (which is when I'd assume the next v14 comes out), would mean XBMC would be quite late to the HEVC ball.

I think HEVC isn't a big deal AT THE MOMENT, but I think people are over spculating on how long it will tkae to come to market. It sounds like how intel under estimated how important the tablet game would be and is now playing catch up. Industry changes faster than people are ready for, it's the people who are in front of the curve that reap the benefits. Although XBMC is free/open source, getting more users certainly does help and losing people to Plex/other solutions because of being late to the x265 game wouldn't be beneficial to anyone.

Again not saying it's urgent now. But I do think waiting til 2015 would be too late.
