This will be useful for adding an AVOption for dispositions.
While it's true that quite a few months have passed since the bump, we
haven't made a release just yet that would effectively freeze in practice.
If this change brings some immediate benefits, we could consider just
adding it now instead.
It has been over half a year and the instability periods is supposed to
be brief. I would prefer to maintain the convention that git master is
kept stable for most of the time.
I agree with that. The supposed "instability period" after this bump
was ridiculous. IMO that period should be a day or so. Prepare patches
before, in a branch or another repo, push after bump, all done.
Once every 2 years is really pushing it IMO. Multimedia moves faster
than that.
I would not bump yearly just because we can. If some development is
actually blocked by limited ABI or it would be too much work to maintain
something, then OK, but in general IMHO it is better to keep the number of
ABI versions small. (less stuff to maintain, less number of versions of
libraries for distros to ship, etc). So the current 1-2-3 years as it
fits us looks fine by me.
