Of *course* ffmpeg itself has slop commits now. Of *course* it does.

The impact seems relatively minor so far, but the impact *should* be zero. There shouldn't be any fucking sabotage of critical OSS components.
Like, can people stop causing problems that didn't need to be caused? There's enough difficult problems out there in the world, we're going to be busy solving problems for a long fucking time.
We don't need to actively make things *worse*.
I am definitely not saying that ffmpeg *is* slop now, there's a hell of a lot of work that isn't slop.
But I don't love splitting hairs about how much an OSS project has intentionally been made worse! I would rather be able to say "hey, this cool project is cool, and no one went and fucked it up for no goddamned reason."
[Complete side note, their Anubis difficulty is set incredibly high, I wonder how much they're getting hit by scraper DDoSes.]
