It was going to use it, I just never got round to using it yet.

Bzzzt! A simple grep for bonobo in the code would have revealed:
CDDB-Slave is now a bonobo component. And no, I won't let bonobo-config
"just die", if I feel like using it, I will.

And I have plans to (at some point) write some media oriented Bonobo
controls. I see bonobo as a very important part of the whole gnome media
setup.
