This is one of the things I've wanted to do forever.

I would like to see separate repositories too, with stricter security  
review rules
and a group of commiters, with their own assigned modules/tasks.  
Essentially
so that we can implement a code signing system that is required  
before we
allow modules to be downloaded to their machines via the install system,
and only allow them to get other modules which haven't matured enough  
yet, if they physically
edit a very big warning laden file.

The same file would have an option to disable  all traces of internet  
downloading from the system,
to allow for closed systems.

And i believe the default node module included, should be  
content.module,
or more pointedly. CCK.
