1 I think it's time to remove the mask on >=media-video/ffmpeg-4.0
2
3 ffmpeg 4 is in many distros (including Debian, Arch) and FreeBSD.
4 Upstreams are starting to require it, too. For example, Kodi 18 and
5 media-plugins/gst-plugins-libav-16 will require it.
6
7 The blocker issue https://bugs.gentoo.org/653678 has only 5 blockers
8 against it right now:
9 * 654628 has a pull request out to fix it:
10 https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/10341
11 * 655170 is for a package that (IMHO) should be last-rited:
12 media-libs/mediastreamer
13 * 666166 is for a package that (IMHO) should be last-rited:
14 media-plugins/vdr-image
15 * 655442 and 658128 are for media-video/mplayer and fixed upstream,
16 requiring a new snapshot release
17
18 What do we say? Can we set a date when the hard mask will be removed?

20 Thanks,
21 ~Craig
