Uhm, release would mean support. FFmpeg is a moving target, see how -ac , -vc 
names are changed etc. With this speed of development supporting a release of 
FFmpeg is infeasible hence making releases would be a useless thing to do.

It has nothing to do with shipping ffmpeg is hard. I do it for my distro and 
its damn easy. Whats hard is keeping compatible with backward releases.

Just my 0.2?.
