That's not what written in the announcement, and the fact it is "still
a test" has not been communicated on this list, to my knowledge. It's
all about as clear as mud...

It's possible I am the only one dumb enough to miss that fact, but I suspect
(hope) probably not.

You do it once, decisively, with no point where it is both dev paths 
simultaniously.
VideoLAN managed it, and countless companies and other projects have managed it 
with
no overlap. Many of which I have experienced first hand. It's one thing to 
slowly
move projects from an org/community over, but having several extant methods of
contributing and reviewing the same repo's code is pretty much the #1 thing that
is avoided.

This isn't really unique to FFmpeg.

... why? It's not necessary, and is a pretty terrible experience for not
much gain except more time for people to argue.

Unfortunate.
