How about you actually *try* reading the news entry, instead of passing the
ball? You might just find out if you do it carefully and pay attention to
each sentence. Especially the part where it invites people to write a
replacement, and says nothing about voiding the decision if "issues are
fixed".

The technical reasons are there, described in the news entry you seem to
not want to read, or at least properly parse.
These past week however saw one developer working against the clock doing
what the actual people interested in ffserver should have done for the past
few months and even years. That is, he addressed most, but not all, of those
and other reasons.

You and Nicolas sure love your historical revisionism.
