I would beware making statements like that.  It's unknown who will use
what.  And "out-of-the-box" can also be equated with "bloat".

Everyone will have different needs.  Right now we have two different
places to look for plugins and two different development methodologies for
those plugins.  The last thing I want to deal with is having people send
in bug-reports and such for plugins that go included in the code-base but
were written by someone else.  I'd rather they contacted the plugin author
to make the changes.

Note that I have no clue if Wari agrees with me on this.  I just figured
I'd chime in so you guys get some developer-thoughts since he seems to be
really really busy these days.
