Are you on the autistic spectrum and/or not a native speaker of English? If we are discussing if FFMPEG's stance is reasonable, then it follows we are discussing of Google's actions are unreasonable.
Google is absolutely being unreasonable here -- they should instruct their engineers to submit a patch when submitting CVEs, and FFMPEG is perfectly valid to engage in a little activism to nudge them along.
>it's not "unreasonable" to ask for patches along with bug fixes, but it is unreasonable to be mad if they don't
So the ask (make a patch for your CVEs) is reasonable. It follows that to fail to do so is unreasonable. Whether the poster agrees Google is unreasonable or not is up for debate, but if they choose to espouse that the request is reasonable and that Google is reasonable, they're putting forth an irrational belief not rooted in their own logic.
But hey, lots of folks on HN are biased towards Google for financial reasons, so I totally get it.
But either their stance is how I said, or if their stance differs they are a hypocrite, there really is no middle ground here.
