"provided by" is != from "maintained".

if you look on fedora :

xmms-1.2.11-12.20071117cvs.fc15.src.rpm

since 2007 this is only rebuilded and fixed for the build but we can't
call this "maintained" upstream.


Gentoo have removed xmms
Ubuntu have removed xmms too

So please stop FUDing to "force" to push the packages you want.
