answered on IRC after checking with the ubuntu one team:
as the import from rhythmbox is done by another plugin, I don't really think this plugin is required for us (particularly if it's state is buggy).
However, I think there need to be a FFe to "remove it" from the default,
isn't it?

Title:
Banshee's Library Watcher should be disabled by default in Ubuntu
11.04
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: banshee
The Library Watcher in Banshee is a relatively new feature, and it
still lacks a good deal of polish. In its current state, the problems
it causes far outweigh the benefit it provides. In fact, I'm fairly
certain that in vanilla Banshee, this extension is disabled by default
because of some of these issues.[1] I would strongly encourage the
Ubuntu folks to disable this extension by default in the version of
Banshee that ships with Natty.
An overview of the issues:
- The Library Watcher has been known to cause very high CPU usage and severe memory leaks[2]
- When importing from CDs[3], devices[4], and even regular folders[5], the Library Watcher leads to duplicate imports
- What's worse, when importing with the Library Watcher + the "Copy Files to Folders" option, some files may be missed altogether.[6][5]
In my opinion, having a "watched directory" is a desirable feature,
but much less important than the ability to accurately import music
from CDs, devices, and folders.
