It was some kind of joke, don't worry :)

I agree with the fact a lot of modules shouldn't even exists. But this
MY judgement, and because I'm a simple human, my judgement is not the
only one which is right (and is probably wrong btw).

It's difficult to define what is a good reasoning, because every man
which will review appliances for a new project CVS will have a different
opinion about this.

My though is that on d.o, it should exist some kind of tag like "core
team says YAY! to this module" and "core team totally disapprove this
ugly module", which should help users to get stable, maintainable, and
non abandoned modules.
