No. You have decided to remove gstreamer-plugins-good, so you should have a reason for that, and know why you issued such a command with such an strange-named package. So you will not think "Gnome sucks because it does not play video". You will think "It is normal that Gnome does not play video using gstreamer, I decided to remove one of its components.
