There was a recent thread, on this list or moved to this list, with subject: "Gnome-Bt should be removed from applications menu"
The fact that this thread was started, gives a hint that gnome-bt doesn't provide much value or doesn't work how users expect. Therefore they would prefer it removed from the menus where the other applications are. I had a chat with Sebastien, before that thread was even started, about introducing this torrent client as replacement for gnome-bt. I was waiting for the 1.00 release to propose the change on this list and when it happened that's what I did. I'm confident that a thread titled "Transmission should be removed from applications menu" wouldn't show up if the change took place. Take in mind that the .desktop file was previously removed from the gnome-bt package. While gnome-bt was installed by default, I think that few users noticed the existence of such application. Users who wanted to download a torrent probably installed another client not knowing of the existence of gnome-bt.
