The main impetus for this I had the impression the intent was to do the release first because the discussions about the vote added (and the votes itself would more so) cause delays to the release. At least I ended up spending significant time in vote releated threads that i did not spend on release & security related work. I would have to reread tons on logs to find which exact statments gave me that impression. > vote is to unblock other votes we need to have.

On any real computer, always possible as a real computer has a finite number of states N, and will either halt in less than N cycles or never halt. --5/gejftf0Hzkayd1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF0EABEIAB0WIQSf8hKLFH72cwut8TNhHseHBAsPqwUCZSWDpAAKCRBhHseHBAsP qxBKAKCagigsDMId15EtVpR71FlkI//j4ACcC49PNDm6dYFeMu7qFWObninYyMI= =hKHf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5/gejftf0Hzkayd1-- --===============1938061157584918604== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-request@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe". --===============1938061157584918604==--
