Andy mentioned in IRC that the oEmbed filter may become a core option (enable/disable) in 1.3. Whatever happens the two will always play nice together.

FWIW, I think they serve separate purposes. My plugin will provide an alternate way to embed media in the stream without taking up quite as much real estate.

r-a-y is right, its about choices, and this is why I didn’t discourage him from releasing his plugin when we discussed it.
