Have you not read the discussion? The benefits go way beyond the tiny
lavf-lavd issues.

When I say "I am for X" and you reply "I am not against Y", with Y⊂X and
Y≠X, you are implicitly saying that you are against X∖Y. I proposed to
restrict to matching versions on all libraries, you replied you were not
against restricting for lavf-lavd, stating implicitly that you are
against it for the libraries.

So, I ask explicitly: are you against restricting to matching versions
for all the libraries? If so, then why?
