This poll really is about, what we should setup on our server.

If you want to discuss giving up our autonomy (not sure thats what you meant)
We can discuss that, though iam not sure email is the medium over which i can
convey my position successfully.

But let me try.
My vission for FFmpeg was, and is that it should be and remain the leading
multimedia framework. (I mean its even in teh "about" of ffmpeg)
And i very much would like to move in this direction together with everyone
who shares this vission. (including all the innovation, AI and so on in ffmpeg)

I also belive that decissions in FFmpeg should be made by the community
(who shares a similar vission).

And really the leading multimedia framework needs its own server and cannot
be hosted by another multimedia framework.

Thats on top of reasons related to performance, independance, and flexibility

Theres also the more personal reason, that i dont want to work on a #2
framework or appendix under some other framework. Id like to compete and
win and be working on #1 :)

thx
