Masked. Also it has switched dep > order as will be announced upon unmasking. ... and since we are committing silently without any real discussion I will switch the dep order again and announce it much later without leaving room for discussion :) More seriously: Why ? Who decided this ? Let's be realistic, both upstreams claim they're better than the other in one way or another, and let's think like serious downstreams, not like upstream playground. As a downstream, I can see plenty of reasons against, but none in favor of this change: - There are still a couple of non-trivial packages that need to be fixed to work with libav while I don't know any that works with libav but not ffmpeg. - All (but the one discovered in Nov. 2012) of the security issues fixed by libav 0.8.5, released on Jan. 13 2013 were fixed in May 2012 (!!) for ffmpeg according to the website... 8 months before...
