The major version bumps are not just about additional switches though. If you 
look at upstream-tracker.org [1] you can see that there were API/ABI-breaking 
changes between 9 and 10 (and the libav project's version 10 announcement [2] 
confirms this). The question is, for what we build in OE that depends upon 
libav are these changes significant or not? If they are, are corresponding 
upgrades available that are compatible with libav 10?
 
Cheers,
Paul
