We're still a bit reluctant to upgrade ffmpeg to 3.x if there is no
released version of VLC that is ffmpeg 3.x compatible. What are the
main benefits of upgrading to ffmpeg 3.x ? Are there some other
packages you want to add that absolutely need ffmpeg in version 3.x ?

Of course, the removal of the ffmpeg patches is very nice, so we
definitely want to upgrade to ffmpeg 3.x at some point, but I'm not
sure we want to do that until VLC releases a compatible version. Do you
have an idea when VLC plans on making its 3.x release ?

Thanks,

Thomas
