14 Is there an exhaustive list of packages that don't work with one or
15 the other? I don't think I've noticed anything I couldn't install for
16 a lack of libav.

18 I suggest just cutting the subjective parts out of the last paragraph:
19
20 Please also note that some packages support only one of the two
21 implementations. An attempt to install one of those packages will result
22 in blockers unless the user changes the global USE=libav state. The most

24 media-video/mpv may be used as replacements for users who prefer to use libav.
