I only have the link to the proposed patch, not the discussion, as I did 
not write the patch.

https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/libav-user/2017-February/010086.html

Paul B Mahol also asked in the libav-user list about the discussion to the person who wrote the patch and who would be more qualified than me to state why it was rejected back then.  Sorry I cannot be more helpful.  I tried searching the archives with google with no success, as not even the above email shows up (and I tried several terms).

Thanks.
