To me this is the crux of the argument - removing rhythmbox to satisfy a
non-free gstreamer plugin is sheer madness. If gstreamer is going to make
this kind of situation possible, it should provide a mechanism for legally
incompatible modules to stay isolated.
Having said that, I still find the arguments that claim this situation
exists at all deeply questionable, but not being a lawyer that doesn't
count for much ;)
