Yes and I agree that not all of them must be included by default.
But some basic points must be from beginning on better as by other media 
centers.
In my opinion the focus should be connectivity and a perfect 
implementation if images, music and videos
For example... As a 0815 Ubuntu user I use Shotwell to organise my photos.
My imagination is now that I have all my photos with tags and events 
which I defined in Shotwell I also have in the structure on all other 
systems.
The same with Banshee and and e.g. my playlists
Nobody want to do the same work 10 times

For me Desktop, TV and Phone must interact perfectly.

Also a main point is a usable webbrowser... Until yet I don't saw by any 
mediacenter a lightweight and usable webbrowser.

BlueCase
