We (my sponsor and I) are waiting for other issues to be solved,
like FTBFS on kBSD.
That's the main reason why we didn't uplaoded the new package yet.

I know, but there's a discussion about splitting libatomicparsley library
(that substituted mp4v2 in managing mp4 tags) to a separate package.
In that case, we will need some more time to integrate it in gtkpod packaging.

"Would have" is a strong notation; maybe they "could decide" to grab packages
from dmo, but surely they'll do so knowing the risks, I hope.

Simply, because gtkpod is part of the pkg-gtkpod team, where you can even find
almost all the libs used to manage iPod and stuff.
