Did the project (who?) ever make a general decision about Cinepak
or delegate to wm4 to represent the project's stance?
I question her/his tone, not the policy, but what is the latter
when not refracted through your, wm4's or someone else's interpretation?
The design decision you refer to I would love to read. What I have
seen on the ffmpeg.org did not say "decoders shall not produce multiple
pixel formats".
