Here is a proposed core set:

This is great: all those other modules SHOULD be moved out of core. But what concerns me is that they don't just get pulled out of core, and dumped straight into the spaghetti pit that is contrib ATM. We have to set up the 'endorsed modules' system first, so that these extra modules (e.g. forum, blog, aggregator, book) have a home to go to, rather than risk them getting 'lost in contrib'. These modules are currently (despite being too domain-specific for core) well-maintained and constantly improved, and this is because they're in core. We have to ensure that when they leave core, they're still in a place where this high-maintenance requirement continues. Jaza.
