 It is WONTFIX, with a slight declination towards INVALID, since the
 proposal was to implement an anti-feature (e.g. you don't want to parse
 unparsable output when parsing the regular - parser friendly - output
 which goes to stdout), and yes it would break all the scripts which parse
 the current output.

 Note that the title of the ticket is misleading, since ffprobe output
 currently *goes* to stdout, but for the configuration/version blurb which
 goes to stderr (and is not meant to be parsable).
