[development] Getting both better internal and external APIs intoDrupal 7

[Wim Mostrey]

I don't think bio is a good candidate for this, if the plan is to
replace the profile module. Bio does not allow to put fields in the user
registration form, which in my opinion is a required functionality for
core. From my experience node profile does the cleanest of this (to make
it core-worthy the node family dependency would need to be dropped of
course).
