MH integration discussion: Justin working on the arbitrator API (done for
the MH side). Also will touch base with the MH team to give feedback on the
integration plan and seek a way to connect to the HW decoders in an Oxide
compatible way.

mapplauncherd discussion : accelerating the startup of Oxide apps is quite
different from QML, would required a dedicated booster shim; recommending
to test the HTML type with a Webview wrapped inside QML to get started
measuring performance gains.
