18 You are playing on words and becoming aggressive. I was, indeed, not
19 'pointing out' but rather suggesting... and maybe it wasn't clear but I
20 wasn't writing about who develops it but rather who uses and benefits
21 from it.
22 I believe we all agree that ffmpeg being part of Gentoo, me caring about
23 it, makes it fall under Gentoo QA umbrella which in turns benefits the
24 whole community...

40 It's all your right. So is mine to point out you are refusing to help
41 me in my gentoo work because you hate upstream of the package I'm
42 working on. I feel sad for being sent to one side of this silly war
43 just because I'm happy with ffmpeg and want to provide the alternative
44 (*) to our users...
45
46 [...]
47
48 (*) Alternative which I indeed still consider superior. This may change
49 in the future.
