Is there anyone still working on libav support? It appears to me that
transition[1] and stabilisation[2] trackers are stuck for a long time without
activity. Missing libav-12 stabilisation means that in several stable
packages, USE=libav is already inaccessible without manual unmasking of the
use flag. I am not prepared to start reverting upstream commits for <libav-12
support[3].
If this is not going to change, maybe media-video/libav should be dropped to
~arch. This is still better than dropping support per-package or plastering
package.use.stable.mask with libav entries.

I guess nobody had time to, libav-12 is working correctly on those arches.
Thanks for reminding us.

Thanks for getting it going. Could someone please add themselves as a
dedicated maintainer to media-video/libav? amd64 has a question regarding
stabilisation[1] and it seems that assigning media-video does not suffice.
Relaying via gentoo-dev list does not scale.
