But indeed. We need more details: why is something critcal. Who decides. Who decides who can maintain critical modules.
This list of modules - does it mark a change in the "raison d'ètre" of Drupal? I mean - if Drupal is there for some developers to "scratch their itch" - they must have developed one hell of an itch lately. If some Contrib modules are so critical to release, that a release can't be made until they're updated isn't that because there are sites that need these modules to be updated? If they are so critical - then aren't they actually core? At least the way core was seen in earlier releases? Or are they simply part of coming "distributions" that take these modules as part of a special purpose "package"? And would that not mean that Drupal could indeed be released first - as core - (with many or few modules inside core) - and the distributions could follow - with all the cool sets of modules? I just ask. 2 very small c from Gunnar
