Hello,
let's replace libav with ffmpeg in oe-core. The reasons are:
- all of the major distributions are using ffmpeg now (the last holdout
was Debian, and they switched to ffmpeg in summer 2015 after a long
discussion and deliberation [1][2])
- ffmpeg is much more responsive to security issues
- ffmpeg does regular releases, while libav hasn't had one since spring 2015
- other reasons listed in [2]

Objections, thoughts?

Sounds sensible to me. However we're a week away from M2 deadline so I'm
not sure we'll be able to have a consensus and get patches before that
unless someone is incredibly motivated.

FWIW I did effectively make this same proposal last July, I think people were broadly in favour:
