its not resistance. its just lack of time and developers. why not make
mplayer releases for us? we will gladly link to and support releases
made by 3rd parties.

other people are chiming in on irc. they want rc3 released and possibly
an rc4 (since rc3 is a few months old now).

i was waiting for diego to do something with rc3.

i really dont care about releases. if i do one it will just be an
svn tarball, with minimal testing. i wont name it rc4, i will go with
mplayer-(svnrev). there will be no backports of features/fixes/security.
