This is something like Fedora has.

This is the approach I like. For now I think 0.10 version could go to
branch GSTREAMER_0_10, and 1.0 on master. Then we could make
gstreamer0.10 if needed or port as many packages which are not
prepared for 1.0 API as we can whith those limited resources which we
have.

Fedora has gstreamer1 as I wrote above, Arch has gstreamer0.10 and
gstreamer0.11.
