s/gst-ffmpeg/gstreamer 0.10/, but yeah. Upstream officially announced
that almost a year ago:

I do think moving to the internal libav copy for gst-ffmpeg until we can
completely remove it is OK though. If people really need it, then the
(outdated) bundled library is still better than no gst-ffmpeg.
