I disagree. That will just bite us later with shadows and
backward-and-forward incompatibility. We'd be much better off
defining reasonable interfaces where we can and moving that stuff
_out_ of core, while providing a facility for installing minimal
packages or SUMOs from the distribution tarball.
Seconded.
I believe
that the prospect of working with that big ball of mud we call "core"
is a prohibitive deterrent to a lot of people who might otherwise
contribute an occasional fix.
Count me in.
