Here's the thread and specifically the message about the reasonings in 
this regard:

https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2022-August/300740.html

Here, Hendrik had asked for an explanation for the extra time fields:

https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2022-October/303282.html

My reply:

https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2022-October/303285.html

And I had asked later whether it's clarified for him:

https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2022-October/303371.html

==> No response

------------


In this conversation, I had stated that no unaddressed objections were 
remaining:

https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2022-August/300593.html

I had also said (about the timing fields):

I still have the log of those conversations. It's just a lot of text
to go through.
But if Lynne wants to insist that it was any different, then I can
post the full IRC log somewhere.


-----------------------------------

Anton said he would review it:

https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2022-August/300729.html

I posted the explanation he was asking for in a reply.

He never responded. 
I sent 4 or 5 reminders over the subsequent weeks and he didn't respond.

-------------

There were more messages where it was talked about whether any objections
would be remaining and there weren't any responses.

That's the evidence for why I said there were no more objections.


Best regards
