Q.E.D.

That, along with Fabrice's control of ffmpeg.org and French trademark,
despite not havign contributed in 20 years, purely for ego reasons, mean
we can never move to a truly community run set or project infra.

If you are so concerned about stuff like GA stacking and people having a
say (see: democracy), consider that the memebrs of the GA *are* FFmpeg.
They make up the project and its code and its community. Not you, and
not some weird set of old mplayer people who are 'trustworthy'.

If I am honest, the way I read this whole saga is you desperately trying
retain what singular control you have left, along with some paranoid
delusions of a VideoLAN takeover, or something.

I don't say this to be rude, but I think you can benefit from speaking
to a professional for some help - this isn't healthy.
