I think one underlying goal is to get to a point where the underlying gtk1 libraries are no longer needed in core and can be removed. Being able to remove all of the application that are still using the older gtk libs is a much bigger gain over all.
I beg to differ. I think this is a rather technical argument with zero user benefit. Even a trivial loss in usability (which clearly is the case here) can not be justified with a bit of HDD space saved.
xmms is a much better player then rhythmbox IMO, and I don't give a $PROFANITY that it depends on gtk1. Not ideal, I agree, but not having it around would be a major loss of functionality from my POV.
