maybe requiring a version bump and an entry in the release notes)? After
all Apple muxers write it by default as well and not trusting the input
metadata seems to me like something that should be opt-out rather than
opt-in but that's just my 2c.

Just as another data point, I think ffmbc writes it by default. If it helps,
I can go through a few samples created by well-known tools (e.g. Adobe
Media Encoder) and post, if they write it by default.

Best regards,
