Hello,
I noticed that commit 7e8eba2d87 deprecated avcodec_register and there was
some disagreement on this issue. Will there be some sort of replacement for
it?

We want to build ffmpeg in a way that only the most frequently used
components are shipped initially and others are downloaded on demand. This
can be implemented for now with a custom link step but will be impossible
if this API were removed.
