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.

Item 5:
Banshee as the default media player, with it´s aggressive development
plan and responsive developers it seems to make a lot more sense to me
as our default. It also presents much nicer bling and cooler features.
I like that we can count on releases happening often with major
improvements happening each time. E.g. in the pipeline now is things
like rockbox integration meaning we might be able to offer users a way
to convert a player to use only free software and free formats soon
(something that seems like an issue for some due to codec patents).
Now will you please show your fellow Fedora contributors some common decency and respect.
