it seems like there are at least a few developers who would feel better
if ffserver was removed from master / moved somewhere else to die etc.

these developers feel very strongly about removing ffserver.

it might be wise to follow the opinions of these developers in order to
have a higher morale and continue the working environment here in the
project.

otherwise some developers may feel betrayed, harmed, ignored, etc and
foster hatred because their opinions were not chosen.

so michael, my advice to you is to just OK the patch and deal with
ffserver later... if enough users come back to complain about its
demise. i feel that this discussion is going no where if both sides are
unable to come to a compromise.

sometimes you have to cut off the toe to save the patient. :)
