[rtmpdump] Future of rtmpdump/librtmp

[Kai Pastor, DG0YT]

Hello,

I'm a contributor to the vcpkg repository. librtmp aka rtmpdump is 
packaged in vcpkg.

This year's rtmpdump mailing list archives show something "tentatively" 
called version 2.6 but also the recommendation that "nobody should be 
using it any more." This is a little bit confusing.

Will there be an official release 2.6 (preferably in the form of a tarball)?

What is the recommendation on the proliferation of usage of 
librtmp/rtmpdump:
  - accept new downstream references (such as adding an rtmp feature to 
the curl port in vcpkg),
- freeze the current status, or
- actively delist it from registries (like vcpkg)?

Thanks,
Kai Pastor
