Not at all - the repository that builds the plugins is public.

    https://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/3p-update-slplugins

  that will move to 3p-slplugins when we release the tools update viewer 
(which should be going to release candidate very shortly).

I see no reason to remove support for any Quicktime content people may 
have in SL if we can avoid it.

We are very actively working on updating the web media subsystem; 
whether or not it will maintain exactly the current plugin strategy, and 
whether or not it will be possible to keep Quicktime working are still 
to be determined.  Stay tuned.
