The mode I like to work and to coordinate the mass rebuild for a stable
branch (F-20), is first be test in devel . We have packages in devel, we
test it for some time and when we can say that are stable , so we could
*copy* to F-20 , another point was: mass rebuild was for ffmpeg/x264 ,
not only ffmpeg .
So it is important have .specs for packages that compile in all Fedora
releases. Having 2 trees, one for F20, other for devel , is just
justified when is a very core package like udev or systemd  ... , but
for rpmfusion the point is other, maintainers are not aware ... 
So *theoretically* my solution was build ffmpeg 2.2 in devel, test it
and copy to F-20 , but devel already have 2.3 so is not practical . 

Moving forward, just update "ffmpeg" on F20 seems to me acceptable ,
like you wrote "only libavfilter has a soname bump (snip) This means
that we really only need to rebuild dvdstyler, mpv and xbmc." but we
miss the test phase, we need guarantee that ffmpeg version was tested ,
any suggestion ? 

Saying that and giving up mass rebuild ffmpeg/x264 for F-20, no need
preserve devel as is and we can do the mass rebuild for ffmpeg 2.4 on
devel , anything pending ? 

BTW what packages (.spec) do you have ? that are different from stable
branches to devel ?  

Thanks and best regards,
