You're right. But centralizing this sort of thing
makes long term
planning for that sort of thing easier. And by putting it in core you
get more eyes on it and hopefully more people caring :)
Well, it doesn't matter where these things are, in core, or externally
- in both cases people ignore issues filed about problems :)
