RFC: replacing mplayer with mplayer2?

As some might've noticed, I've done some work on mplayer & ffmpeg
packages lately,
and in the process I've also packaged the mplayer2 fork as well.

mplayer2 works perfectly as a drop-in replacement for mplayer and has
several benefits
(see http://www.mplayer2.org/comparison.html), some of them are:
* uses ffmpeg library through it's API only, thus removing the need
for an internal ffmpeg
* as it's able to use the latest ffmpeg, it also adds support for the
multithreading it provides
* much cleaner and nicer codebase, easier to maintain and doing development on
* support for gettext translation

It also has a couple of drawbacks as well:
* mencoder has been dropped
* internal gui has also been dropped

As the internal gui isn't that great with several other better
alternatives and mencoder isn't that
great either (ffmpeg is a better alternative anyways, mencoder could
also still be packaged),
I'd prefer just replacing mplayer entirely rather than having both
projects maintained in the distro.

So before I push mplayer2 to main/release, does anyone have any
objections to this?
