End-users will have to swap to the full intel-media-driver by hands. Having
this package might interfere with this process.
I don't get what you mean by "once it's upstream" ? There is no plan to get
this library into a separate project. This is backward. cmrt is now part of
intel-media-driver and not meant as separate library.

Thanks

What I mean by 23.4 is pre-release is that any later 23.4 serie can mandates
any higher libva library (or else) than what currently has f39.
Also Intel VAAPI is know to silent break ABI from time to time, so even minor
releases need to be carefully audited. At the end, we don't want to rebuild all
libva userspace deps for a single driver update
(even if we could do this in fedora/rpmfusion it will nevertheless break many
legitimate copr users that might have different maintenance pace).

I hope to have clarified the point.
