as some developers had concerns about the release in relation to
merges prior to it, iam not sure we should recommand that or not.

We could also wait with adding such recommandition and for example
add it for 3.3.1 when no major issues are reported on release/3.3

either way
patch LGTM

thx

It's unusual to make a release if we're not sure users should upgrade to it?

iam not sure i understand what you are trying to say?
but ill try to awnser anyway

I dont think its unusual that after a large number of changes or a long
time since the last release theres higher uncertanity in the code state.

Nor is it unusual that one doesnt suggest everyone to upgrade to a
"dot zero" release but waits for .1, for example ubuntu does that AFAIK

Iam not sure what the team prefers, how can i be sure without asking?
and thats what i did above, i asked

IMO, since the "we strongly recommend" line has been a constant in all
releases, removing it now will (for those that notice it) rise quite a
few red flags and make people come to the conclusion they should
probably skip it altogether.
If we expect people to use it and hopefully report any issues with it,
we shouldn't do something that will scare them away.

And really, the tree wasn't any more "unstable" when we branched it
for 3.3 than how it had been when we branched previous releases. All
new release branches featured merges up to some arbitrary point.
It's even been two weeks since the branch was cut, and no outstanding
issues were found even in master, so lets try to not start spreading
uncertainty.

it looked funky and so i checked and found:

which says no

+1

And as for bug report/fixing there has been invented the k++
possibility in the i.j.k versioning schema...

In the real world of audio-visual archives, witch I know best,
it is indeed important to be able to tell to the users to keep
updated with the last release. (BTW: They are often unable to
deal with the HEAD.)

The final goal should to be to have FFmpeg used widely, I guess.

That's not how I remember it.

We had a relatively high number of open regressions when 3.2 was
released but I don't think we ever had such a high number of open
regressions as now (neither at times of releases nor otherwise).

Sorry, but I really wonder what this sentence is supposed to mean...

     This has been a long time coming but we wanted to give a proper closure to our participation in this run of the program and it takes time. Sometimes it's just to get the final report for each project trimmed down, others, is finalizing whatever was still in progress when the program finished: final patches need to be merged, TODO lists stabilized, future plans agreed; you name it.
