The existence of a MX module that can serve the same functionality is not,
in and of itself, a reason to drop core functionality.  If that were the
case, then we should never have included MX::AttributeHandlers in core.

I'm still not seeing any compelling reason to drop excludes/alias.  Am I
missing something here, like is the existence of alias/excludes in core
blocking Some Thing Good, or encouraging Very Bad Behaviour?
