"After a careful review of all the pros and cons we, the Debian
Multimedia Maintainers team, have finally decided to switch from Libav
to FFmpeg as provider for the libav* multimedia libraries. We'll try
our best to make this happen in time for stretch.

The main arguments for using FFmpeg are summarized on the wiki"

Now I wonder if this might mean the end of the schism and eventually everyone will just go back to deving ffmpeg.

You can almost say Libav is the Fedora to FFmpeg's Red Hat.
