Hi Ville!
XEmacs' package system is not functional without xemacs-base, dired,
efs.
So, unless we switch to a http package installation system, these are
all destined to go into XEmacs core.
I'm jumping to conclusions a bit, but I guess you see my point.
imo:
yes, we should put xemacs-base into core.
yes, we should switch to an http package installation system. (really
really really; http is *much* more reliable than ftp these days and
works through firewalls consistently)
