Yep, you're right, I was wrong you won't get the same underlying
stream/bitrate etc for all the re-mappings.

I checked a random couple of those re-mappings by comparing the previous
wiki commits and whilst some are the same (unfortunately I checked ones
that were the same - always bad to not check everything, my fault), some
aren't as you've pointed out.

This reorg must have changed these values/mappings to meet the new approach:

rather than bit rate.

If anyone does want to compare what was to what is, you can do so by
bringing up the pre-revision wiki page using this link:

...and compare it to the current page:
