As 'smplayer' supports using 'mpv' as its backend, is it possible to move 'mplayer' from the depends array of the package smplayer <https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/smplayer/> to the optdepends array? I've installed 'mplayer-vaapi' which provides 'mplayer' as a dependency of 'smplayer'. And as 'mplayer-vaapi' is dropped now, I just want to keep 'mpv' alone, rather than falling 'mplayer-vaapi' back to 'mplayer'.
