Isn't the fact that we plan to include both volume controls in GNOME transition phase enough? Those distros who like PA adopt the new one, the ones who don't continue to use the old one. Distros who are unable to decide have to ship both, but hey that's what you get when you cannot decide. Given that some people don't want to adopt PA anytime soon (such as the Solaris folks) I don't think we will be able to remove the old Gst mixer any time soon either.
