Theres a contract between SPI and STF and there are agreements between
the FFmpeg developers and SPI/STF to do the work.

And its what the FFmpeg project publically has on our wiki

If you dont care about FFmpeg being funded and dont care about
project members being able to participate in funded activities
then yes you are on the right track

but lets remember, i wanted to merge librempeg as my STF project.
And people wanted me to instead do security fixes.
So thats where this fix security issues and make release comes from

you suggest i stop doing security fixes or releases ?

Like i said if theres consensus that a release should be done a month later
i can suggest this to STF, but i cant flip flop back and forth and
keep asking for changing the deadline as the communities preferrance shifts

thx
