Mention VLC plugin perhaps?
Again, you're making suggestions to create an image of pseudo-neutrality. The VLC plugin is notoriously problematic in practice. Your suggestion would be actively misleading. I strongly suggest you read the wikitech-l thread.
Here, I'll even do some of your homework for you:

I assume you are pointing to the "Downpreffed VLC because it crashes my browser all the damn time -- TS" comment.
Oh so THAT's why Wikipedia insists on loading that damn Java applet, instead of the VLC plugin I installed. Cortado crashes MY browser (and sometimes my whole computer) all the time, to the extent that even as a long-time editor who knows something about these matters, and a fairly tech-proficient user, I now just avoid videos on Wikipedia entirely. That should change now I have FF 3.5 (but I can't test it now because I'm at work with 3.0)
