If it ever wants to return to the beep-media-player name, it would be nice if all incompatible plugin packages etc are gone. When beep-media-player "Classic" and it's friend the bmp USE-flag have left the building, I will remove the mask after a few months and the package name is up for grabs. For now BMPx is actively maintained while BMP is not. So BMP needs to go.
