[MPlayer-DOCS] letter to distro mplayer packagers?

[compn]

has anyone sent a letter to all package maintainers asking them to follow the
packages doc? or to get them to stop removing the mplayer version numbers?

e.g. users come into #mplayer:
[09:05] <ProN00b> MPlayer dev-CVS--4.0.2
[09:05] <ProN00b> thats my current version
[09:05] <ProN00b> is it old ?
[09:09] <ProN00b> i think so, its ubuntu's newest package

or just put the letter in the news section of mphq.
could make it a comedy piece, like "top 10 things wrong with mplayer packages."
