Not to interrupt the ongoing thread but just to provide a reason or two: Archive has always been a "blog" centric thing to me. And the fact that it did not work the way i.e. wordpress does it, made it less than adequate. So the contributed "monthly archive" module which I have seen lately - could perhaps inherit the role of the archive module - without being in core. A block which lists months, and links to the posts of that month - is all it takes to satisfy blogger needs. I think. best Gunnar Dries Buytaert wrote:

If core should have an archive module, then this should be reviewed and refined. I have added phpdoc comments, and tried to name every piece in the code sensibly, so that it is understandable. If an archive module is not needed in core, the current one could be removed, since there is a viable working alternative now. The current one, which has timezone and node access problems is not liked much in the development community, and Dries already indicated that it has no future in core.
I'm OK with removing the archive module from core. It's about the only module I don't mind removing. I'll go with the majority of the votes though.
