iam also not completely happy with the removial, but then again iam also
not happy with linking GPL to non GPL code
in the past being able to try many different decoders was usefull to
debug and improve lavc, now that lavcs mpeg4 decoder is pretty much bugfree
the loss of -vd divx4 will probably have little if any effect but still
i agree with roberto here that the removial was too quick without giving
people a chance to comment

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
