You think no one else would be against it? Really? Not even myself?
If people counts should decide do you think there should be a vote
again? Or do really think everyone already treated the posted flames as
a vote and counting numbers from that would be meaningful?

Even considering only the posted opinions, if you add just me to the
public "against" side and then compare what each side has actually done
for MPlayer during the last year which side do you think has done more?
I think the suspension requests are in a pretty clear minority by that
metric. And if you think that's not a fair metric, it's IMO a much
better one than head count to predict which half of a project will be
successful if people do consider the issue a "my way or I quit/fork"
one.

Even knowing the unusual tastes of some MPlayer developers I did not
expect those commits to cause such controversy. That someone would use
them as a reason to seriously demand revoking commit access crosses the
line from reasonable disagreement to idiocy.
