[development] How could everyone win and get Views in Drupal 8?

[T L]

+1 for views in core d8.

It's a pretty useful module, and I'm guessing most of us use it in the vast
majority of our sites.  wrt code flexibility, I think it's a fair trade off
for lowering another barrier to entry for new users.  It's one less
blog/forum/module search a new user has to read/do in order to
get/understand/use what again I'd guess most drupal sites consider
standard/necessary.

Just my thoughts though.

Cheers,
tim
