I hope that's enough of a "why". I don't know if it's true for everyone, but it's how I see it. I don't think you should send emails that seem to suggest other contributors aren't living in the real world or that they want to hurt users when you're holding a tinderbox.
if my previous e-mail seemed to suggest that _"other contributors aren't living in the real world"_, then I must apologize: it was not my intention to make any remark that would be offensive to any person.
When I was speaking of "ideal world" wrt to "real world" I was just expressing the frustrating fact that, in current mplayer status, I am far from achieving even the basilar goal to have mplayer accepted in Debian.
