I've only been using GStreamer for a month or so, so I'm not really qualified
to comment. However, I'm writing a new sound recorder for GNOME and using
GStreamer as the backend, so I can say a few things: from what I've seen while
reading other GStreamer-based code in GNOME, a lot of apps are still using
0.10x. One of the reasons I'm writing an updated version of the sound recorder
is because it relies on gconf. Afaik I should be fine using autoaudioscr. Seif
Lofty and his team are working on Music right now, as well, but I think they
are relying on Playbin.

So if I were to say anything here, it would be that it doesn't seem that the
newer apps will rely on it; but perhaps it would be good to keep the
possibility open for now in case there are issues that come up in the near
future that could be solved by relying on it?

But in terms of the documentation, yeah, it might make sense to just remove it
unless someone knows of a good reason why we need to recommend gsettings*
elements. Unfortunately, the person who might know that reason isn't me.
