OK, now I see your argument, which makes sense to me. So in short the
proposal would be to leave Python stuff outside of core, leaving the
integration at the packaging level. I would add an additional feature:
defining some of the plugins as default, and require their inclusion in
the installers. In this way the users will not have any impact (no loss
of existing functionality), and allow flexible release cycles, while
keeping the core clean.
Would this be OK for you?
An open question would be whether to split bugtrackers as well, or keep
them as they are now.
Cheers.
