To be fair, we attempted to send out our latest bits around March
2012, but somehow we never got around to actually send it.

What I currently read on the wiki page about FFmpeg -> Libav was
probably appropriate back then, but now two years later, I don't think
its really appropriate.

Given the current FFmpeg/Libav packaging tension, I'm having a hard
time to come up with a summary of the current state of affairs. One
option would be to say anything, which I would consider better than
the current text on the wiki that is two years late. However, Ideally
we would say something about the new features in Libav10 and Libav11.

What's the timeline for sending out the announcement? Alessio, I take
it that you are driving this effort. Maybe you can set a tentative
deadline when you want to have it sent out?
