Seems quite inadvisable unless backed by the larger video community, which in turn I think will be unlikely.

Do not underestimate how incredibly load-bearing ffmpeg is to all of video technology, and do not underestimate the crazy shit going on inside it. It's a remarkable piece of technology.

That's cool, but that doesn't matter. No one is trying to force people to use new, experimental software. Let the hackers hack.
