node.module is a critical module, because everything is based on nodes.
I'd even consider saying that the module is really part of the very
core of what makes Drupal Drupal -- since without nodes, there is very
little content.


This module can be disabled in the modules. But a LOT of modules use
node_ functions -- such as node_load() -- without checking to see if
the module is active. If one of these modules is enabled, and
node.module is disabled, all pages will stop on a PHP error.


I think the node module should be set to required.
