Not actively developed doesn't mean unmaintained. [...] I suggested an alternative wording in another thread, something along the lines "libavresample is not maintained *in FFmpeg* and duplicates functionalities with libswresample". You could follow with "lavr has been copied in our source tree years ago and left untouched for compatibility with the Libav project but maintaining both libswresample and libavresample is not good for the durability and consistency of the FFmpeg project. We decided to keep our implementation since it's overall considered better from our point of view." No need to keep up the bad vibes. It served its purpose and dropping libavresample will cause enough problems to our users, we don't need to be dicks in our political statements. So again, I support the patch, but not its announce form. I'd advise to be wise with how we take political stands, being aggressive will not deserve us. Regards, -- Clément B.
