> They can easily be ported to libavresample.

With FFmpeg we can have both libswresample and libavresample.
Asking everyone to use libavresample is a waste of resource and there is no gain at all.

Can you name a software that only builds with Libav?
It's the switching to Libav that breaks enough out-of-repository software.
