I'm always eager to update to the latest releases of C-language programs that handle untrusted input, and it sounds like the mpv team is moving on from mpv 0.27.0. Personally I think it's bad practice for mpv to depend on some random commit of FFmpeg, but that is mpv's choice. In the future, please send patches that introduce unreleased versions of widely used libraries like FFmpeg to guix-patches for review. The packaging guidelines say, "We usually package only the latest version of a given free software project." [0] I interpret "latest version" to mean the latest version released in the way that the upstream developers typically do their releases. For FFmpeg, this is a tarball. Thank you very much for taking the time to explain your rationale!
