Oh, vim.  Hmm.  In that case, the following seems to provide equivalent
functionality (I haven't tried it):

That's understandable, because Debian stable could end up having to live
with these bugs for two years.  As you know, there's also the freeze
policy, and associated risk/benefit analysis.

Brilliant!  My availability is spotty, but feel free to CC me for
review, sponsorship, and related questions (ie: is this changes a
candidate for an unblock?)

Thank you for confirming mpv 0.35.1-4 didn't introduce a new regression.

Yup, you're right.  There may also be documentation-related issues
related to VAAPI (ie there is now i965-va-driver, intel-media-va-driver,
and intel-media-va-driver-non-free), or maybe "default" is for mplayer
and not mpv.  'not sure if that's an autodetection bug or a
documentation bug.

Take care,
Nicholas
