Those were based off of the normative branch so I agree with you it's
pretty unusable. For LTS at least if there has been an incompatible
ffmpeg release since their snapshot I don't think a new one with
libaom disabled would get pulled in. That said, I'm ok with leaving
1.0.0 support through another release and when we see 2.0 get picked
up by distros. This patch is lgtm depending on other people's
preferences.
