I know, this is one of the reasons I have not bothered writing patches
for that. The other reason is that the ambience on this mailing list is
so toxic I find it emotionally draining to even consider working on
FFmpeg; I had hoped that having committees would help, but it did not
happen.

But I would like to point that I have yet to see you see practical
arguments against it. For now, the only arguments I have seen hinted
more at a misunderstanding on how linking works, but the people
defending them have refused to discuss.

Regards,
