netscape plugger 5 has been out since 2003, why is this still masked?

Due to no one saying anything about these bugs they will be punted in 1 week
with a last rites, since most have been in PMASK for 6+ months (hell some for
years ;) )

So? This p.mask entry doesn't make any sense.

Upstream is dead. Can be replaced my mplayerplug-in or totem or xine. Punting
in 30 days. Masked

Just a couple of points:

Mplayerplug-in is great for movies, and some sound formats, but does not deal
with text formats such as .doc and .pdf, which netscape-plugger did and
mozplugger fails to do correctly. Totem and xine are also movie-oriented.

The obvious substitute, mozplugger, seems to have no stable version.

In the present mozplugger, xmms is used - but that's masked and on its way out,
too.

I agree, there is no alternative to plugger. Do I really need to start
compiling this thing by hand when it's gone???

Please punt this, already overdue...
