Youtube is used by many foundations and conferences out there as the
official channel for their presentations, tutorial videos, outreach,
etc.

It can also be embedded in web pages, and there are good builtin
plugins for all mobile platforms and browsers. It's not as easy to
make an mp4 work out of the box in a way that you hope it would.

I don't see a problem in hosting the videos *in addition* to having
them in a CDN, but especially because Youtube is free and ubiquitous,
anything else (maybe apart from Vimeo) would be less ideal, especially
if they require plugins for browsers or mobiles, even if they're free.
