Any reason why we cannot use rpi-update to get the latest firmware ?

Thanks

I was able to get the new firmware listed in this post working-
http://www.cnx-software.com/2013/01/26/raspberry-pi-now-has-experimental-support-for-vp6-vp8-mjpeg-and-ogg-theora-video-codecs/comment-page-1/

I loaded the firmware and was able to get omxplayer installed. I tested the install and I can now play vp6, vp8, mjpeg and ogg files! Yahoo! If anyone would like I can create a how to for other users. The only small gotcha were some missing dependencies. Now I just need to figure out how to get addons like HGTV, DIY etc to use omxplayer. Is there a global setting somewhere in the alpha 4 release I am using or do I need to make and adjustment on a addon by addon basis?
