Do people disagreeing get a say?
Also is there any specifc reason why it would ease maintenance (less
major version bumps or anything like that?).
I also don't think the reference to gnulib makes sense, I do not
see any significant overlap between gnulib and avutil (not even in
the goals, I don't have the impression that gnulib is especially
bloat-averse).
