Removing nautilus-cd-burner wouldn't fix the problem you describe:
unnecessary UI inconsistency would still exist with Brasero vs. Nautilus
itself. Why is creating a new folder done one way in Nautilus, and
another way in Brasero? Why is removing files from a folder done way in
Nautilus, and another way in Brasero? Why does the confirmation alert
for replacing an item with the same name have different text and buttons
in Brasero than it does in Nautilus? Why does Brasero refer to
non-existent "projects"? And so on.

All these differences people shouldn't have to learn. The ideal data CD
(and CD image) burning interface would be a strict superset of the
normal interface for the file manager. nautilus-cd-burner provides this
for many use cases, but it's missing basic features (like multi-session
burning) that Brasero provides.

So if you want to solve the duplication problem thoroughly, implement
the missing data CD features in nautilus-cd-burner (branching it if
necessary), and the missing audio CD features in Rhythmbox. :-)
