yes, might not be the time to make this change now (but it's about
removing a small app, not adding one or splitting gnome-core...)

About xmms/grip not ported to gtk2, there are many important
applications not ported to gtk2. Having gtk1.2 still installed too
is quite recommended. This is not a reason to keep gnome-cd.

About xmms/grip not being in gnome2, you can't have every useful
application out there in gnome2. Guess what, distributions include 
other software which isn't part of gnome (surprise, surprise)

to be involved everywhere, but gnu/linux developers in general, gnome
in particular, are scarce and they need to manage things with a
priority.
