Given the fact that I still have ffmpeg0 installed, I'd say this transition is not over :-) Seriously, though, I am happy with pain-alleviating measures like having a ffmpeg23 port for a short transition time. What I want to avoid is that we all need to have 3 installations of ffmpeg on the same machines for months or years and I think it's a fair request to ask the maintainers to have a look sometime during the next months.
