I am not part of the libav team, but I know many developers and I followed the story of the fork. I then also noticed that my beloved arch is still using ffmpeg and libav is not even in the official repository (but only in AUR).
Is there a reason for that?
because nothing in our repositories requires libav
There are quite a few good reasons to switch over and many already did: - debian unstable (http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2011-Dec...)
the inclusion in debian is questionable and I don't want to open the pandora box and start a long and boring discussion about this. see my point 1).
- vlc (http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2011-August/081317.html) - gstreamer (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26497)
(And I'm quite sure also gentoo and Ubuntu but I don't find a link).
