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

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

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

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