I also think so. I have unmasked ffmpeg-3 since several months, because I don't use any package from bug 574788, but instead >gcc-5. Everything for which I (and I suppose most people) need ffmpeg compiles (and so far runs) without any problems: libquicktime, xine-lib-1.2.6-r1, mplayer-1.3.0, mpv-0.19.0, handbrake-0.10.5-r1, firefox-48.0, avidemux-2.6.8 (Well, for the apparently maintainer-needed avidemux I had lately to do a version bump to 2.6.12 and some patching in the mv overlay; but this was only for the very latest bump of ffmpeg-1.3.2 -> 1.3.3 plus a simultaneous bump gcc-5.4.0 -> 6.2.0. I didn't check whether the ffmpeg bump was related here, at all, or whether a similar patching could have been done for avidemux-2.6.8)
