Also, being a maintainer myself, if a piece of code is such that I do
not want to maintain it, I remove it, purely and simply. I find it a
much saner attitude than having some code in my codebase but refusing to
maintain it when users report bugs. Again, you have the choice to use
ffmpeg instead of live555 as an RTSP client for instance.

Of course, in the end, you maintain vlc codebase the way you see fit,
but please do not be surprised if others which do not like the way you
are doing your job do not want to participate.
