Which wasn't achieved as far as I can see.

Obviously my attempt at humour was lost on you... I was mimicking the
style of the original e-mail.

I feel blocked out in the sense that the release team didn't contact
either of Jon or myself about the deprecation, or asking for our opinion
on the matter. I feel that the current solution is being forced upon us.

FWIW, I never received an answer to my last question, see at the bottom
of:
http://www.mail-archive.com/desktop-devel-list gnome org/msg15147.html

This is what I received before brasero created their own library:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509508

A never finished patch with loads of memory leaks.

I believe this is the first case of a module being booted out of the
release where the maintainers of the module replacing it weren't
maintainers of the original one. And I can't say I'm pleased about how
it was done.
