No, it has not.
As I have already written, I have libav USE flag in my /etc/portage/make.conf
and still portage wants to merge media-video/ffmpeg

P.S. Trying to find out which packages currently depend on ffmpeg,
I get the following:
$ equery depends ffmpeg
* These packages depend on ffmpeg:
app-misc/tracker-1.2.5 (ffmpeg ? >=virtual/ffmpeg-9)
media-libs/gegl-0.2.0-r2 (!libav ? media-video/ffmpeg:0)
media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.0.28 (ffmpeg ?

Interestingly enouth, when I try to find out why the tracker package
needs ffmpeg,
I get the following:
$ equery uses tracker
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[ : I - package is installed with flag ]
[ Colors : set, unset ]
* Found these USE flags for app-misc/tracker-1.2.5:
U I
- - cue : Enable cue sheet parsing
+ + exif : Add support for reading EXIF headers from
JPEG and TIFF images
- - ffmpeg : Enable ffmpeg/libav-based audio/video codec support
- - firefox-bookmarks : Install bookmark data miner plugin for
www-client/firefox and www-client/firefox-bin
+ + flac : Add support for FLAC: Free Lossless Audio Codec
+ + gif : Add GIF image support
- - gsf : Enable gnome-extra/libgsf based data
extractor and for ODT.
+ + gstreamer : Add support for media-libs/gstreamer (Streaming media)
+ + gtk : Add support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit)
- - iptc : Enable extraction of IPTC data from pictures
+ + iso : Enable extraction of metadata from ISO disk images
+ + jpeg : Add JPEG image support
+ + miner-fs : Enable tracker-miner-fs (required for
filesystem indexing)
+ + mp3 : Add support for reading mp3 files
+ + nautilus : Enable tracker to integrate with
gnome-base/nautilus by providing entries in its context menu
- - networkmanager : Enable net-misc/networkmanager support
+ + pdf : Add general support for PDF (Portable
Document Format), this replaces the pdflib and cpdflib flags
- - playlist : Add support for playlists
- - rss : Enable support for RSS feeds
- - test : Workaround to pull in packages needed to run
with FEATURES=test. Portage-2.1.2 handles this internally, so don't
set it in
make.conf/package.use anymore
- - thunderbird : Install email data miner plugin for
mail-client/thunderbird and mail-client/thunderbird-bin
+ + tiff : Add support for the TIFF image format
- - upnp-av : Enable UPnP audio/video streaming support
+ + upower : Enable power management support
+ + vorbis : Add support for the OggVorbis audio codec
+ + xml : Add support for XML files
- - xmp : Enable support for Extensible Metadata
Platform (Adobe XMP)
- - xps : Add support for XPS file format through
app-text/libgxps.
That, in my view, means that the tracker package really should not
demand ffmpeg.
