I have three API changes/additions/deprecations on the ml, some for 
months now, that i want in 4.4 in order for them to be present in the 
last release using the current major library versions. This is so users 
have a good amount of time to notice them and adapt their code.
It's not be as nice if they start noticing any new deprecations 
introduced today in a release made several months from now.

These are "deprecate av_init_packet() and sizeof(AVPacket) as part of 
the ABI", "avutil/buffer: change public function and struct size 
parameter types to size_t", and "avcodec: add a get_encoder_buffer() 
callback to AVCodecContext".
The first two still need to be LGTM's. The latter was LGTM' by Lynne, 
but I'm still waiting for Mark to give his.
