Sure, but libav as the default only got 5% of the vote. I think the
poll suffers from over-complexity. :)
I tried to choose the options' wording carefully, in order to get as
much information as possible from a single poll.
As it currently stands we have 144 votes (sorted descending by
popularity). Time for some preliminary analysis:
Which should be the default in Gentoo, ffmpeg or libav?
A. I prefer ffmpeg, and it should be the default. 61%
B. I don't care about the default, but it should be easy to use the
non-default, even if that causes a less smooth experience for users of
the default. 14%
C. I don't care about the default, but users should have a smooth
experience with it, even if that means additional hardships for those
who choose differently. 6%
D. I prefer libav, and it should be the default. 5%
E. I prefer ffmpeg, but I am fine if libav is the default. 4%
F. I prefer libav, but I am fine if ffmpeg is the default. 2%
G. I don't care either way. 2%
H. None of the above/Other 1%
There were two respondents for "Other". The first does not really
consider ffmpeg and libav to be interchangeable packages any more. The
second said that he wants to be able to install both ffmpeg and libav at
the same time, even if that is currently infeasible.
This means that,
61% disagree with the current default and want it changed to ffmpeg (A),
while
38% are fine with the current default libav (B+C+D+E+F+G).
5% would be against changing the default from libav (E),
94% would be fine if the default was changed to ffmpeg (A+B+C+D+F+G).
22% of respondents did not express a preference for either ffmpeg/libav
(B+C+G), including
14% who say that it should still be easy to choose the non-default
option, even at the expense of a few bumps in the user experience (B),
6% who say that a good user experience is more important than having the
choice (C).
In case the default remains at libav, 79% would want to have an easy way
of switching to ffmpeg (A+B+E).
In case the default is changed to ffmpeg, 21% would want to have an easy
way of switching to libav (B+D+F).
