Yes, migration & tracker bugs haven't been handled yet, that's for
a follow up (after merge). The only exception is moc which is used
as an example.

Right now this is mostly fixing bugs of ffmpeg itself, not the bugs
of revdeps, all while preparing things to start checking these.

Indeed, albeit still need to recheck some of the in-tree packages
(likewise for other ffmpeg versions), tracker bugs can be missing
things esp. if some devs added upper bounds without filing a bug.
For ffmpeg-7, some may still need to be discovered -- tinderboxes
unmasking it sometimes don't catch everything.

Can probably kill 4 anytime anyhow, but no hurry, ffmpeg-4 isn't too
broken yet.
