I am with the crowd of keep Drupal core lean. The less optional modules Drupal has to consider the better it would be.
Wouldn't adding views to core do just that, ie the 8 or so module Earl mentioned? re-pasted below. tracker.module: Just a view. blog.module: Just a view. /node front page: Just a view. /rss.xml: Just a view. node content admin: Could be a view, with VBO. user admin: Could be a view, with VBO. recent comments block: Yep, a view. recent blog posts block: Yep, a view. active forum posts? Sho 'nuff. Jim On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 11:46 AM, Earnie Boyd <earnie@users.sourceforge.net>wrote:

I really like that whole idea. Then we could have handy hooks to easily
modify those queries if someone wishes, like maybe an easy way to add index hinting.
But we can have those hooks maintained in a contrib module as well. We just need to have a api.contrib.drupal.org or drupal.org/contrib/api. I am with the crowd of keep Drupal core lean. The less optional modules Drupal has to consider the better it would be.
