I think it's time to remove the mask on >=media-video/ffmpeg-4.0 |

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. |

The blocker issue https://bugs.gentoo.org/653678 has only 5 blockers |
8 |
against it right now: |

* 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 |

What do we say? Can we set a date when the hard mask will be removed? |
