For the record, if Big Companies such as FB or Bilibili want to keep
on dragging FLV/RTMP around I recommend:

1. Create something like
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-cellar-codec/ for FLV.
2. Have Adobe refer to that registry as the Point of Truth in their
spec/document.

That way we have a spec and Adobe does not have to update anything
beyond pointing towards the open codec register.

But really, I would just prefer the "no manifest live stream via TCP"
crowd that utilizes RTMP to just pivot towards either streamable
matroska or fragmented mp4 over plain TCP or HTTP. If I recall
correctly Icecast already has basic live Matroska over HTTP support
implemented so it's not like PoCs cannot be created with relatively
existing software?

Best regards,
Jan
