Just listening to the tone of your emails and that of Michael, I have
the very strong feeling that the AV people, including you, are
just chewing on old wounds and are not ready to admit that they
have feature-wise, development-wise, usage-wise, simply lost.
By continuing old fights, inspite of the very clearly friendly and
open offers and suggestions byu Michael, you and others from AV continue
simply to insult and be nasty.
I am really impressed by the ability of Michael to take this without
changing into a more inpolite tone. Which you and others from AV are
definitely doing.
The base line of this discussion for me is:
* AV maintainers are averse o any cooperation, and just licking their
wounds since several years
* the ffmpeg maintainers, in particular Michael, has offered several
times to cooperate, contribute support, help, with only blunt
rejections and insults from AV side.
* from my point of view, it would be best to throw out Av immediately
and switch to ffmpeg before release.
I recommend you (and other AV maintainers) do get back to real life,
and don't continue wars from ancient times, just because you feel hurt.
This is childish behaviour.
Thanks
Norbert
