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

[Jeff Greenberg]

I'm not familiar with the particulars of how Views would be exist in 
core, but strictly as an abstract architecture question, could not Views 
have a core-required 'kernel' and core-optional portions. Perhaps there 
would be a way to modularize it so that the savings on code by the other 
core elements that would use it would result in a small net gain in size 
of the install package if the core-optional modules aren't enabled? Just 
a thought.
