I'm sorry, but what? |
| 34 |
PR was filed yesterday, what 6 months are you talking about here? |
| 35 |
Please respect your fellow developers. We have other commitments and |
| 36 |
priorities and can't zero-day review a PR. |

It is not GStreamer fault that ffmpeg breaks API and ABI without |
| 39 |
parallel installability, much less so the distro maintainers of it. |
| 40 |
If you/upstream don't make it parallel installable, then this is what |
| 41 |
you get. |
