I guess I see knowing how to unmask USE flags (uncommon event) as more difficult than unmasking a couple of packages (much more common event). It's also particularly confusing given that there was a news article published saying libav was now the default and that people could explicitly swap to mpv with libav. The news article might have been published prematurely or without checking, I've no idea. Either way, what's going on at the moment is causing users confusion, and I was just suggesting that the decisions be made first and then action taken, rather than this back and forth we're having with packages and USE flags and masking of all kinds, which is not giving our users a good experience, even if the change is for the best.
