Release pre8, which is a extremely slimmed down version of MPlayer
and only prints out "This is not MPlayer". Release  MPlayer 1.9 shortly
after. Or, skip the 1 entirely, and release MPlayer 9 (my favourite).

Security stuff can become 9.x, and the next actual release, when
someone actually gets arond to it/dares do it again can become
MPlayer 10.
