He does have a point, though.

Obviously a lot of the contributions are things that are great for some people (live support, PDF catalog, etc.) but not necessary for everyone and would bloat the code and make osC much more complex if they were all integrated into the standard package.

There are, however, a LOT of contributions that I see more as "fixes" than extra features. I'm talking about things like the three-image mod (the way osC resizes images is terrible), the option type and sort/copy mods, description in the product list, etc. These have been around for a while now, and integrating them (and other fixes like them) would only make the standard code stronger and mean a lot less stress and work for new users.

The fact that osC is always changing and growing means that even these basic mods may not work with the latest snapshot or milestone, which wouldn't happen if they were integrated into it.

I know that there was a thread some time ago asking what mods people use the most and would like to see integrated into the standard code. I personally thought that folks got carried away and started asking for every one of their favorite contribs to be included. Maybe if we took a more restrained and sober look back through that thread, we could begin integrating one absolutely essential mod per month?
