  To: ffmpeg-devel

It was added in cb114ed4640 with the comment
"This will allow fixing several bugs with the -shortest option".

Since
* there is no explanation of what these bugs are
* libavformat is not the place to work around ffmpeg CLI bugs
* there is no indication that this feature is actually in use
deprecate it without replacement.
