No, it still is an issue, and this is why.

1. As Nick pointed out, this is still restricted to the Windows platform.

2. Since the Bink format is entirely proprietary, if I decide to release content in the Bink format, I am entirely at the mercy of RAD Game Tools.

3. Trusting executables has become more and more iffy. (Trojan horse, anyone?)
