FFmpeg has a linear development scheme, how can you call 
a continuous versioning scheme useless? It reflects 1:1 
on how FFmpeg is developed.

But the development here is not release-driven (note that 
I am not saying it should or shouldn't be, I am just 
describing how it does work for more than a decade), 
just look at how the latest release was made: A random 
snapshot was chosen, not even current known possible 
security issues or regressions were relevant.
