I do not need to address your beliefs, but I do need to address
outright falsehood. I normally do not address such things, but things
have gone out of hand. I am tired of this, and want it on the public
record the actual state of affairs. I did not even submit "dozens" of
patches for C standard conformance.  There was a 5-patch series for
this, all available on ffmpeg-devel for those interested. Even with
the 5 patches, I was clear that I am ready to drop immediately since
after all they are "pedantic":
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2015-October/181972.html

I knew they would likely not get much traction, and would likely be
ridiculed for fixing problems that don't need fixing. I never imagined
it being used in sarcasm to attack another action I took regarding
FFmpeg.
