We don't care because "caring" would severly limit the things we can change in the code.
Your logic would be sound if the code hadn't been declared as deprecated. I do agree that for live code the users have to accept changes when it means there is a real gain from it, but because it has been declared as deprecated are you trying to make changes to code when you officially no longer want to make changes.
You then wouldn't put a message into ffmpeg to point out that it hasn't been declared as deprecated. Although I am sure there may be a some users who could be happy about such a message, maybe some may even be worried about the news of ffserver and find such direct message useful. Yet would I not consider this to be a real gain or an acceptable change.
I am guessing for once you wish to be lazy and by sticking the message into ffserver, thinking since it is going away anyway why care? But it's not actually user friendly, because anyone who is using it will now get this message each and every time they starting the server. And it's not like there aren't good places to put the announcement.
