It is I who requested it and I talked to teuf about this on IRC.

He rather saw the merging of playlists and browser view (so you can use
the artist / genre / album selections in a playlist view), which would
enable the same thing, if you could create an automatic playlist based
on the location of the audio file (yes, i know we try to seperate the
audio collection from the filesystem, but i (and many other people)
seperate their collections by putting them in different folders).

So it's either the multiple libraries thing, or merging browser view in
playlists and adding an "automatic playlist by file location" thing, I
think.

Just my 2cents though
