Given that the feature request is a knee-jerk reaction[1] to
one
Rhythmbox maintainer saying he sees the current code base as a
dead-end
for a few use cases, I'm pretty happy to say I'd refuse the
idea
point-blank.
As I explained to you in a reply to the accusatorial private email you
sent me, this is clearly based on the technical superiority of
Banshee. I have previously expressed an interest in proposing this.

Now will you please show your fellow Fedora contributors some common
decency and respect.
I think we got past that point when you proposed this feature for
inclusion without discussing it with any of the other interested
parties.
This is not the same as replacing Pidgin with Empathy, or replacing
nautilus-cd-burner with Brasero. The former just got into GNOME, and is
a front-end to a new platform feature, and the latter was replaced
(acrimonously) upstream.
It also seems the latest stable release crashes when playing
videos on
my machine, and spits out loads of uncaught exceptions on
startup.
FWIW, I've added my comments to:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Features/BansheeAsDefaultMediaplayer
and filed the two bugs I found whilst starting up Banshee:
I will reply to these as soon as possible
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487117
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487120
Thank you for your bugreports, as you will have noticed I have already
started working on them.
I filed 2 more when trying to reproduce those bugs:
