I believe I said about N times that there should be one module which

This is totally doable in contrib, I am touting such a module in contrib ever since fapi is, which approx two years and yet noone has written one.
Well, it would not be admin/user friendly, so there is no point. RTEs are not tied to text areas, but the format they generate/support (bbcode, HTML, whatever), so it is not an RTEs to textareas but an RTEs to input fields with a certain format relation. Once we cleaned this up, there is much less input fields to do exceptions with (ie. a HTML RTE will not show up on fields with bbcode input or which is just check_plain()ed, because we know what happens with the input, so we can tell whether an RTE should be there (and with what config) or not).
* We could put the RTE attribute registry into core provided some writes one. I am not holding my breath.
I am not much excited about an RTE in core, it will take time to agree on one, but I am excited about doing RTE support right, so that whatever RTE you use, the admin experience is smooth as well. See also: http://hojtsy.hu/blog/2008-feb-04/supporting-wysiwyg-editing-better-drupal-b... Gabor
