Re: [drupal-devel] why is node.module not required?

What is the reason for node.module is not a required one? What can Drupal be used without nodes?

As an aggregator for example, or basically anything that does not involve content publishing, but involves users. Like database administration (eg. with the DBA module).

Drupal does not work with node switched off:

theme_get_settings calls node_list .

Either we fix this or simply make node required.

I vote for fixing it. Goba
