This is not so simple. The gain for Alex would be that he can work on
DRUPAL-7--1 while core is open with much more freedom.

here, let me state this: would the quality of the code of aggregator
be less high than the core standards? maybe. but, it already is way
below. These only-by-history core module are already not core quality
so let them develop more freely. We are looking for responsible
maintainers so I am sure they wont degrade into a stinking pile of
debris.
