Shotwel is an appreciated software, but i remember it being removed on purpose. It couldn't handle very large photo-libraries, would simply just crash when the library was to large. Also it tends to re-organize photos, pretty much like iTunes does. I think it possible to configure how, but by default, it imports and sorts the photos according to its default settings, which i personaly think is PITA. Maybe it has become better. But it is more of a gadget than a production tool. Also, we already have 2 professionak RAW developers / Library Managers: Darktable and RawTherapee and for quick navigation of photos, file-manager+ ristretto beats shotwell in both speed and simplicity. I'd rather _not_ see shotwell come back TBH. Audacious, on the other hand, i'm sure we will get many comments for it's absence. I for one, will have it high on my todo-list after install. Obviously, like zequence say, it is an apt-get install away. But hey, we provide the users with tools to create music/video, shouldn't we provide them the tools to watch/hear it?
