Can you elaborate / explain why 14496-2 Part 2: Visual Annex F.3
"Postprocessing for Coding Noise Reduction"
(which is about half of what libpostproc is)

Aka a part of the implementation of the MPEG4 ASP video specification
is insane to maintain in the same git repository as the
MPEG4 ASP video decoder and encoder ?

Iam not saying iam against it, just that it seems very strange to me

If people want we could revive libpostproc.git, it just seemed easier
to me if people use libpostproc from FFmpeg

It is what and why we do it that matters, not just one of them.
