I thought 5.x was the LTS series already. Maybe I misunderstood, but I
expected that the 5.x series does not break API/ABI, so minor versions
of the 5.0 major series would be part of the same LTS and supported
for that timeframe.

At least, that was my impression when I started bringing ffmpeg into Fedora...
