Feature activations should be set as enhancement bugs. Alastor, I guess this should be included in our 145 release notes? Could you request it? Thanks.

Note added to the Web Platform section of our nightly release notes with this wording:

Added Matroska support for the most commonly used codecs: AVC, HEVC, VP8, VP9, AV1, AAC, Opus, and Vorbis.

I am keeping the release-firefox tracking flag set to ? until we include this note into our final release notes in November. Thanks!

MDN docs changes can be tracked here: https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/41816

Note that work to add media support to BCD is ongoing here: https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/27168

Setting dev-doc-complete for the purpose of the relnote, but we would add BCD in a follow-up depending on the inclusion of media in the linked PR above.
