Instead I would suggest to clarify / correct the entry or write a new one.

I agree with CE here, let's not rewrite history.

My reading of the vote is that we, as a project, are now promising to
update, maintain and improve ffserver and that if this succeeds (see
Nicolas' original post for official definition of this), ffserver can stay.

Your reading is wrong.

The result of the vote is:

STOP WASTING YOUR TIME THINKING ABOUT FFSERVER
since you do not care about it, it is
SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROBLEM, NOT YOURS.

Uh, right, that's probably better, yes.

Duh, then we can just remove the deprecated APIs and not care about
ffserver breaking? OK, fine. But I bet you would reject a commit
disabling ffserver default build.

-  <h3 id="ffserv">July 10th, 2016, ffserver program being dropped</h3>
-  <p>
-    After thorough deliberation, we're announcing that we're about to drop the ffserver program from the project starting with the next release.
-    ffserver has been a problematic program to maintain due to its use of internal APIs, which complicated the recent cleanups to the libavformat
-    library, and block further cleanups and improvements which are desired by API users and will be easier to maintain. Furthermore the program has
-    been hard for users to deploy and run due to reliability issues, lack of knowledgable people to help and confusing configuration file syntax.
-    Current users and members of the community are invited to write a replacement program to fill the same niche that ffserver did using the new APIs
-    and to contact us so we may point users to test and contribute to its development.
