I think it's a good decision ...

All major projects need to do this step once, and imho its good to do it now

Again the question, if you could announce mplayerplug-in as external 
program/plugin with rc4 or after it or independent from it ...

I think 0.40 or 0.50 will be released soon by Kevin ...
