Since this feature set has been integrated with core, we can remove the external extension: bug 1129890.

>    * Bundled with core

When an extension is "bundled" with a release, that only means that it's included in the download and doesn't have to be downloaded separately. This doesn't have any bearing on the Git workflow; the extension is still separate from core. Nothing to be done here.

This functionality has been integrated with core, so we can remove the extension: bug 1133359.

>    * Obsolete and replaced by TimedMediaHandler

The replacement extension and its dependencies have issues with assumptions about paths, which we're tracking in bug 1130359.

We intend to rewrite this extension, which we're tracking in bug 1051207.
