I get that and it makes sense.

I also get that, but the commit message should have mentioned that.

Thanks for the info. Yet again, I would have expected something in the
commit message.
I ususally don't care, but this commit broke the build process.

I can't tell you how often I had to change the script to compile ffmpeg.

It's not a problem, but when I run into a compile issue, I check what the
problem was. "header missing" pointed me to commit 0c75acb4ce
(compat/avisynth: remove avisynth headers), yet there was nothing in the
commit message.

Cheers,
