How is mpv unsuitable for long-term maintainance?

We do provide security support for iceweasel. Where did you get the idea that
we don't?

We don't backport fixes but just provide the latest stable release.

The situation with ffmpeg is completely different though, because ffmpeg
upstream actually documents which patches fix what security issue:
http://ffmpeg.org/security.html

Something that libav upstream doesn't do.
