No it's not. I don't plan to break anything.
I might deprecate some things, like I did with libdvdcss 1.3.0.
I compile MPlayer, xine, handbrake and VLC regularly enough to not break
things.

I just plan to have a correctly managed project to fix the numerous
segfaults and issues and have a correctly copyrighted project (aka not
SVN).

Sorry, but that's not my problem anymore.
I've complained enough about the old repo.

You are very welcome to get commit access to our repo. (The dvdread one
is done, the dvdnav is under history-rewrite).

With my kindest regards,
