Yeah, but my concern was with respect to implicit cloning.  We had, on
and off, this idea that when a track is added to RTCPeerConnection, it
would be cloned and the thing that the RTCPeerConnection owned would
be a clone of that track with extra properties.  That's what I wanted
to avoid.

The idea that you can clone a track outside of this, and apply
different constraints is a pretty useful concept and one that I think
we've invested enough effort into already.  I really don't want to
change (i.e. regress) any of that stuff now.
