It is an issue because it makes the rest possible. After all, people

I was not ready to go that way, but since you put that on the tale, be
aware that I will hold you to it.

If they happened in the future and not in the past (decisions should not
be retroactive), I would consider this:

https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2018-December/237979.html

I am not very surprised to see technical types ignoring sociological
