Comment (by obenland):

 It would be helpful to keep everything in one patch rather than having to
 apply multiple patches that are potentially conflicting.

 The API still seems not to be as solid as it probably should be at this
 point in the cycle. It's not backwards compatible for themes that already
 support custom headers (which personally I think is a blocker for making
 it a core feature), and as far as I can tell the customizer control gets
 displayed regardless of the theme supporting videos or not?

 Posting an example implementation would really go a long way in
 understanding what the API should cover, currently there seems to be a
 myriad of ways for themes to interact with it, which might not make for
 the  best dev experience.

 Having videos taking precedent over images is something we probably should
 explain in the customizer control as well. And inform them how they can
 use that as a fallback mechanism.
