I kind to agree. I was thinking if we need a result from a formal exp-run, and
those PRs are filed a while ago. If those PRs can be seen as an acceptable
result (fallout report) by portmgr then I'm good.

However we should also work on bringing new software in, either with
multimedia/ffmpeg8 or update multimedia/ffmpeg and keep multimedia/ffmpeg6.  I
know that we don't always want multiple version of one software but we still
need to find a way to fulfill most of the users.  Considering those versions
are maintained by the upstream this should be safe.

This PR has been open for more than a year and no trivial solution immediately
available, we need portmgr to point an acceptable workaround here.
