I'd like to express a general agreement with this point. The project has experienced quite a lot of scope creep lately.

We can encourage people to maintain their own forks of FFmpeg, see for example FFmbc. /Tomas _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
