In general, it's good practice to avoid unnecessary use of acronyms as they add ambiguity with very small gain (some fraction of a second when typing and a few bytes in storage size). Also note that the acronym is only used in the commit log and spelled out in the texi file. That said, I'm not blocking on this but I added the note since it was not very clear from the context when reading it. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
