That is certainly the direction we're aiming for.  At the moment, we try
to have a minimal setup that works in 80% of use-cases.  Once imageio is
distributed widely in the main distributions, we can even make it a
default dependency.

In the mean time, let's talk about integrating it as a plugin, or
perhaps add a page to the skimage docs on how to read more exotic
formats (especially cross-platform video would be a big win!).
