It's not.
However, what was proposed was having *both* of them, not dropping libav
in favor of FFmpeg.
So had the proposal been "hey, let's replace libav with ffmpeg", would you vote "yes" ? Only one library to maintain and review, and it happens to have good upstream support And replacing libav with ffmpeg is easy and the ffmpeg maintainer is committed to help port reverse dependencies. Looks good to me. Maybe Andreas should have made a not-so-polite proposal?
