Well, it'll be about another day before the Anime encoding community attempts to entirely switch to this and two days before XBMC users start going 'Why can't XBMC play this!?'.

No - first we'll spend a few months trying (unsuccessfully) to convince the subbers not to switch over to something that only people who watch anime on their 8-core gaming machines can play back.
Then we'll start agitating for XBMC to incorporate it into the nightly builds as soon as possible after Gotham is released, all the while realising that our quiet HTPCs will never be able to play h.265 and desperately hoping that Handbrake will support transcoding h.265 to h.264 sometime soon so we'll have a stopgap way to watch the releases until video cards that support h.265 are released in 3 years.

When the madness starts I hope the nightly build will fast get HEVC added for all of us doomed people who than are in need of this.
