As people could get blockers on upcoming "emerge -avuDN world" I would
add some "hint" to the news item to suggest that one will help to solve
that blockers. Maybe something like "USE=libav introduction to manage
ffmpeg/libav selection and dependency conflicts"

Or something else to point people to that news item in case they get the
ugly blockers :/

Have you think in adding a "libav" global use description and update
"ffmpeg" one to explain this behavior? Otherwise new people not seeing
this news item in some months or years will need to figure out by
themselves that this USE if a bit "special".

Where is libav USE and package set as default over ffmpeg? I haven't
found that in profiles/ dir :/ (or is it going to be done when
implementing this?)

Thanks
