How so? Offhand, in terms of optional components, I can only think of the unfortunate existence of the comment field in the node table.
$ grep -r node_comment_statistics * | awk -F: '{print $1}' | grep ".module" | sort | uniq modules/comment/comment.module modules/forum/forum.module modules/node/node.module modules/search/search.module modules/tracker/tracker.module Five core modules directly query the node_comment_statistics table. In my view of the world, comments are first class citizens in Drupal. We should optimize how they interact with nodes. In other words, I agree that it makes sense to merge the node_comment_statistics table into the node table (assuming it does improve performance). It would also help eliminate bugs. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
